For Arts week, Year 6 looked at the 7th day…the day God rested. To help with this, we created images of peaceful settings such as waterfalls, beaches and Space, and used these to inspire our own guided meditations, which included the use of imperative verbs and symbolism. We wrote the meditations in publisher and looked at how we could use different tools to place our meditation scripts over peaceful images.
This afternoon, in Reception, we have been going on treasure hunts! Miss Robinson had found a treasure map so she took her friends with her to find treasure.

Some of us made treasure maps for our friends to follow and others already had a map to follow. We cannot wait Read more

Year 6 have looked at what makes up our blood, how are blood groups different and how scientist investigate blood. First of all, we looked at how we could be blood donars. We calculated how we inherit our blood type, who we could donate blood to, and who could donate blood to us.

This week we have been using all the knowledge we have gained throughout our topic ‘Scrumdidlyumptious’. We worked as a group to design our own new healthy snack bar. This included giving it a name, deciding on ingredients, designing the packaging, creating a slogan, pricing including profit, creating and performing an advert and finally making and taste testing.
We have really enjoyed our ‘Wriggle & crawl’ topic this half term. To finish our topic we made our own Minibeasts but then they escaped into Kaden’s garden to be in their natural habitat.
