Year 5 have started their new science topic studying magnetism. We have discussed the difference between contact and non-contact forces. We thought about the history of magnets and what they are used for. We then investigated what makes magnets attract and repel. We enjoyed using bar magnets, paper clips and Read more…
Today, Year 6 investigated ‘how to prevent heat from getting to an ice cube?’ Every child has worked extremely hard over the past three to four weeks focusing on our topic within Science ‘heat’. They’ve been exploring, discussing, researching and investigating how particles behave; thermal equilibrium; thermal conductors and thermal Read more…
This half-term in Art, Year 5 have been studying the topic ‘Every picture tells a story’, which has involved studying various artists and the meaning behind the art work they have created. During these lessons, we have studied the artist Banksy and created an edited version of one of his pieces Read more…

The children explored this theory by placing their hands in freezing water, room temperature Read more…
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.
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 Read more…
