6C Real Science

23rd October 2014Mrs c Hern

Today, 6C had the pleasure of attending a Real Science event at the Discovery Centre.

During our sessions the children got to learn about compost, poisons, the immune system, solar panels, magnetism, how horses have evolved into ponies, the chemical process in printing inks and copper cables. Our subject knowledge has really extended today and the children have come away with lots of interesting facts.

The children especially enjoyed holding worms and stroking Tincher Stryder, the pony!

6b and 6c market Research

21st October 2014admin

Carrying on from yesterday’s exciting Volkswagen launch, this morning the children came in bright and early ready to ask the parents of Brooklands Farm about their needs in a car.

In the pouring rain, year 6 were polite and approached parents as they came into school. They asked them questions from a questionnaire they had devised yesterday afternoon about including questions about what type of car they drive, what is important to them in car and what colours they like.

After this session, Year 6 came back into school and are currently sitting in their groups going though the data looking at what the needs and wants of the parents are!

Internet Safety!

15th October 2014Miss Rebecca Snowdon

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.

Crack the Code Ignite Day!

22nd September 2014admin

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:

This is your life Philip Pullman

12th September 2014Mrs c Hern

Year 6 have wowed us with their video editing skills this week.

We have been learning about the inspirational author, Philip Pullman. To start with the children wrote biographies about his life and achievements. They then created a movie in the style of ‘This is your life’, using their biographies as a voice over. The children shared their learning with each other and gave some constructive feedback.
Everyone enjoyed sharing their video’s with Year 3 this afternoon.

Great learning Year 6!
