Fun Sports with Reception 25.5.16

After a fantastic session with Miss Sophie on Monday, Year 6 were inspired to plan their own fun sports activities for reception class.  In the morning we worked in groups to plan the equipment we would need and the instructions for the activity.  In the afternoon the Year 6s set up and ran the activities - it was a great success!

Sports Week 2016 - Fun Day with Miss Sophie - 23.5.16

Today we had a great morning with Miss Sophie to kick-off sports week.  Miss Sophie had planned and set up various fun sporting activities for us to try across the morning.  It was great fun!

End of SATs 2016 doughnuts

The year 6s have been working very hard in the lead up to their Reading, SPAG and Maths assessments and this week were able to put all that hard work into action. They showed great resilience and focus to complete some challenging assessments - everyone at the school is very proud of the effort they have put in!  To celebrate the end of the tests, Mr Burton very kindly bought the special 'SATs recipe' doughnuts for us all to enjoy.

As we move into term 6 we will be focusing on being a prepared as possible for secondary school both in our learning and emotionally!

Well Done Year 6!

Balloon release 27.4.16

On Monday Miss Hunter found a balloon when leaving school.  This made her think, "Where has this balloon come from?".  So she has organised for every pupil in the school to have a balloon to attempt to find out how far a balloon (which is inflated by helium) can travel.  In order to do this, we all wrote a label asking the finder of the balloon to contact the school to say where the balloon was found - the contact details for the school were on the label.  So that we were safe, we ensured no personal details were included on the balloon.  We are really excited to find out how far our balloons will travel!

Fruit Solar System 20.4.16

To get an idea of the relative size and position of the planet, year 6 used fruit to represent the 8 planets in the Solar System.  Once we had established which fruit represented which planet, we then went out into the playground to show the relative distance from the sun.
Once we had finished modelling, we ate our Solar System!
