Year 6 were lucky to have PLP visit us and talk to us about the building work and some of the science behind it. We discussed how to build structures and had the chance to use wooden rods and elastic bands to build stable structures. We were also Read more…
This morning Maple have been busy building! A lady from the school building project carried out a session with us all about ‘Structures’. We had to make tetrahedrons using the wooden sticks. We then got busy trying to make the biggest structure we could with them. The children all had Read more…
Year 6 continued their work on inheritance, evolution and Darwin by exploring what DNA is, how it helps decide what type of person we will be and how genetic engineering and selective breeding have affected living things around us. We studied selective breeding in dogs, looking at how species Read more…
As part of our research into Darwin and his Theory of Evolution, Year 6 investigated what fossils are, where they are found, how they are formed and what types of fossils there are. We created information booklets using our 4 sentence paragraph strategy: statement, question, exclamation and command. The children Read more…
