Year 6 have been in learning zone 5 all afternoon! We have been researching Bletchley Park and planning our project product. Phew! We’re exhausted!
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!
If you would like to have a go cracking some codes at home you can visit:

Year 6a and Miss Snowdon joined Mrs Humphris and 3a to share the learning that they had produced as part of our Key Authors whole school project!
What a fantastic few days 6b have had back at our school!
We showed our Summer Holiday learning projects! The children really showed a fantastic understand of Philip Pullman and the journey of his life.
We then ‘ignited’ our ‘This is your Life’ Project where the children will be creating imovies using the ipads showing the journey of Philip Pullman’s life!
The children were taught the skills of drawing Polar bears….
…how to create a ‘This is your life’ movie using imovie by inserting sounds, pictures, visuals and voice overs…
…and have been learning about the structure and content of biographies ready to write their own biographies…
They will be using these skills to create a ‘This is your life’ movie on Philip Pullman!
We can’t wait to see the end result on Friday!
What an amazing year we have had!
This year we have been incredibly successful in our School Sports and our competitions in the 20 different festivals that have taken place this year- ranging from years 3 to 6!
I’d like to say a HUGE thank you to anyone that helped out with the festivals and came to support the children- from staff, to parents to children. Especially on a cold, wet Saturday morning!
