Thermal equilibrium

In science year 6 explored thermal equilibrium through two different hands on, practical activities. We discussed how when we say something is ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ we are saying it is hot or cold compared to us. The children explored this theory by placing their hands in freezing water, room temperature water and hot water. The children recognised that thermal equilibrium can be reached through the transfer of heat through a conductor, such as metal. We Read more

Human form – skulls

This week we have been inspired by Damien Hirst’s skull art works and other examples of decorated skulls in different cultures. We traced over an image of a skull and then decorated it using pastels and patterns of our choice. They look amazing:   Once we had finished we walked around the classroom to look at all the different pieces of art, then we gave feedback about which ones we liked and why.

Supertato

This week when we arrived at school we had a letter at the front office. When we opened the letter it was from The Evil Pea. The Evil Pea had captured all the fruit and vegetables in our classroom and taped them to the floor. It was our job to save them, we found the story Supertato and found out that Supertato saved the day. Supertato tricked The Evil Pea and trapped him back in Read more

Photomontage

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. 

Science (Heat)

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 change state. Children watched a demonstration of ice melting, chocolate melting and also condensation. They then had to verbally describe the changes in state to Read more

P.E on a Friday

We have enjoyed being in school this week after being at home over the school holidays. We have been super busy doing lots of phonics and maths work this week and to finish off the week we took part in our P.E lesson. We climbed up and down the apparatus and worked on jumping and balancing on the different stations.     We are super excited to be back to school to do lots of Read more

Christmas

We have had so much fun in our last week before Christmas. We even had the chance to watch our very own pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk. We hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and we will see all of our friends on the new year!
