Year 6 are loving tree week!
After an RE day yesterday looking at the Bodhi tree, today year 6’s are being scientists!
At the moment they are observing the effects of and links between temperature and the rate in which a plant grows.
Later they will be looking at exceptions to the rule- how certain plants have adapted and changed to suit their environments linking back specifically to the Bodhi Tree!
This will all come together for our end product of our tree week display!
This morning, year 6 have been busy using reliable resources to find out where the bodhi tree originated from and other countries in the world where it grows.
The children have been using an atlas to find the grid reference for these countries.
The learning zones and buzz in the classroom has been amazing!
This week, the children have been busy completing their assessments!
We have been incredibly proud of all of the children and think that they are definitely showing that they are strong and powerful learners.
This afternoon, the children have been busy creating their final aerodynamic car design. The learning zones have been high and the dialogue between pupils have been fantastic.
Year 6 had a great Internet Safety session on Monday with our visitors from Hazard Alley. We learnt about the risks that are involved with using the internet, how to identify these risks and how to protect ourselves.
Take a look at our pictures.
Year 6 have had a great time in gymnastics today swinging around on some of the apparatus!

Year 6 ‘ignited’ our new project ‘Cracking the Code’ on Monday!
We had an insightful day learning how coding works on ‘Scratch’ a computer system, understanding the importance of Bletchley Park and how it relates to Code Breaking in World War Two and learning how to write coded messages to our friends in Morse Code, a Zodiac Cipher and a Caesar Cipher!
Here are some pictures of the day!
