Incarnation – Christmas in year 6
In RE, year 6 have revisited the Christmas Nativity story, looking at Matthew and Luke and contrasting versions. The children looked at what incarnation is and how it related to Christmas. The children then had to look at different quotes from the Bible and decide how this shows human qualities. We also had a lot of discussions regarding Jesus’ teachings and how these shows Jesus as the Holy Spirit, The Son of God and God Read more

Come dine with me
As part of our D&T topic, Year 6 had to research, design and cook a healthy, budget-friendly three-course meal. We chose bruschetta, with tomatoes and cheese, to start, chicken fajitas for the main course, and healthy fruit kebabs for dessert. We looked at how to prepare the ingredients, including hygiene and how to prepare each ingredient, as well as how to ensure food is cooked to a safe temperature. The children really enjoyed preparing and Read more
Computing
Analysing Fieldwork Data
Year 6 had taken part in a traffic survey on Queen’s Park Road, tallying the amount, colour and types of vehicles travelling to and from Heywood. To be able to understand the data better, we created a range of graphs to display our results visually, as a Geographer would do when conducting fieldwork. We used our computing skills and Purple Mash to create our graphs.

Pavilions
Year 4 were set the task to build a pavilion for their chosen endangered animals. It needed to include a sheltered area and some fun things for their animals to play with. It also needed to include a gate for the animals to enter into. I think you will agree that the animals would love the pavilions that the children created.
Learning for Life
Christmas at the Cherwell Centre
Year 4 were very lucky and got the chance to go and meet Santa at the Cherwell centre! We had lots of fun seeing the reindeers, Santa, Olaf and also meeting the Grinch! We laughed lots at the naughty elves who kept throwing snowballs at us and squirting us with water pistols. We decorated ginger bread men and baubles and had a drink of delicious hot chocolate.
Religious Education
Angels
In RE, the children have been thinking about angels. We discussed how Christians believe that angels are messengers of God. They studied various pieces of artwork which show angels, and discussed how they are portrayed and why. We also looked at the role angels played in the Christmas story. Children then created some fabulous nativity themed artwork.
