The children explored this theory by placing their hands in freezing water, room temperature Read more…
Our new topic in Art is Photography. today the children looked at various examples of work from other artists: ‘Peter Kennard’ and Jerry Uelsmann’. The children eventually created a photo montage using secondary source photographs. They did a brilliant job and their personalities really shone through their work.
Today Year 6 started their new topic in Science – Heat. First the children recapped prior learning all about states of matter and how particles behave. Through drama, the children demonstrated the behaviour of particles before they started to learn about the effectives of heat on the particles as they Read more…
Today Rowan worked in groups to design, prepare and cook a three course meal. Every child had the opportunity to chop, blend, fry or prepare either the starter, main or dessert. For starter the children had a range of vegetables with a humous dip. For the main we cooked a Read more…
