Charles Darwin may never have fully developed his Theory of Evolution if it wasn’t for his trip on the HMS Beagle. We looked at plotting locations on a map, writing their location using degrees of longitude and latitude, and using scales to calculate the distances Darwin travelled.
In Year 6, we have been looking into the life of the famous scientist, Charles Darwin. We discussed how he studied living organisms around the world to compare and inspire his Theory of Evolution. We discussed how we could investigate what lives in our school grounds. We decided that trapping insects and other small living organisms would be the easiest way as we could leave traps within the school grounds overnight in the most Read more
Today we received a letter from two aliens called Zig and Zog telling us that their spaceship had crashed in our school grounds They wanted us to teach them about materials so they could decide which would be best to use to fix their spaceship.

This afternoon we have been tasting different flavoured porridge and deciding which one we liked the best. We had honey, lemon and banana and strawberry porridge. We used the fantastics to come up with some describing words looking at what our porridge tasted like. The class came up with words for each flavour such as delicious, beautiful and spicy. We wrote down the words together and shared our ideas in a circle. We hope Goldilocks Read more
We have been very busy over the last few weeks getting ready for our assembly and today our mummies, daddies, grandmas and grandads came to watch us. We did really well learning our lines and sang all of the songs beautifully. Well done Year 1!

We had lots of fun during our shared learning and lunch. We got a bit messy making papier-mâché Greek vases. When they have dried and hardened we will then paint them and decorate them just like the Ancient Greeks did. After getting creative, we enjoyed our lunch with our parents in the hall, it was delicious!
As part of our share-a-story World Book Day (WBD) theme, Year 6 decided to build on some of their previous writing…ghost stories. We have produced a two-part guide on how to be a monster. The guides are inspired by a WBD author masterclass, where an author suggested taking your normal daily routine and changing it to fit a different type of character. We took our daily routine and changed brushing your teeth Read more
