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.
A selection of year 5 and 6 children took part in a writers day where they were lucky enough to spend the day with the author Colin Parsons! The children participated in workshops and produced amazing WWI inspired stories. The children then read the stories aloud and impressed Colin with their efforts!
They had a brilliant day and everyone is enjoying reading Colin’s stories they have brought back to school!
This week, Mrs Hern’s maths group have been learning about angles. The children have really enjoyed learning new songs to help them remember the key facts!
Watch one of our videos below…
Over the past two days, year 6 have been visiting Silverstone, home of British motor sport! This was to ignite our learning for our next project ‘Aerodynamics’, which coincides with our last project for VW.
The children had a tour of the Silverstone grounds, including looking at a map of the different areas of the track and the history relating to those different areas, a tour of the pit lanes, the control centre and we even got to stand on the podium!
We has an exciting tour of the Porsche Centre and even got to sit in some Aston Martins, Ferraris and single seater race cars! We finished the morning by having a tour round a working garage.
After lunch, we had an exciting workshop afternoon making balloon powered cars and improving our cars to make our cars the fastest! We even had a race at the end!
What a fantastic day! A special thank you to the two parents for helping us on this day, it is very much appreciated. Another thank you to Victoria at Silverstone for a well run and fun day out out. After this exciting start, we can’t wait to see where our next project takes us…
Another exciting morning here at Brooklands Farm Primary school for VW week!
Year 6 had an amazing opportunity to look at, get inside and learn about the AA break down service and how they link to the Volkswagen group.
A huge thank you to the AA men who stood out in the pouring rain but kept the children really excited and inspired.
