Christmas crafts, dancing, singing, games and films. We did lots of fun things on our last week before Christmas. We also got a visit from Santa!!! We were very excited.
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
As part of our D&T topic, Year 6 had to research, design and cook a healthy, budget-friendly three-course meal.

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.

During our Science lesson, we used playdough to help understand the rock cycle. We make igneous rock, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rock. We explained each stage using scientific vocabulary.
Yer 4 really enjoyed their Christmas party, there was lots dancing, playing games and eating Christmas treats.
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.
