We have planned fair and comparative tests in year 6 today. The children have planned a scientific enquiry on which exercises raise our heart rates the most. The children chose their equipment and discussed the variables and constants in the investigation. We had a lot of fun doing our experiments outside. Next week we will display our results in an appropriate way and draw conclusions to answer our investigations.

Congratulations to all of Year 6 who won a Headteacher's Award this week. We are very proud of your effort and determination during the mock SATS tests this week.

This term Year 6 have been practising their coding skills on Scratch. We have explored how to set variables up in different ways to create score boards and timers. We have started to create our own games with falling sprites. The children have to code each sprite to fall in different ways so that the player can catch points or avoid sprites which deduct points.
We are hoping to get other children to review our games for us.

As part of the Tameside Ready, Steady Read festival, year 6 joined a zoom meeting with children's author Penny Joelson today. This was really inspiring and informative as we not only found out about some of Penny's stories, but she also discussed how she became an author. Penny has written books including 'Tell no secrets' which is about a child with cerebral palsy who cannot tell anyone that she saw a murder! She also wrote 'Girl in the window' in which a child witnesses somebody dragging a woman into a car and notices a young girl's face in the window opposite who has seen it too.

Alongside our work on Internet Safety this week, Year 6 have also looked at Children's Mental Health Week. We have looked at loneliness and how to make connections with people, especially when transitioning to high school later this year. We have talked about our mental health generally thinking of strategies to keep our minds healthy. We have looked at showing kindness to others- we created our own kindness poems using the senses.
Well done Year 6!

This week we have celebrated Safer Internet Day 2023 in various ways in Year 6. We took part in a live assembly on Tuesday to start our thoughts about how to keep safe online. In our lessons we have discussed how we all use the internet for various reasons. We have discussed the positives of the internet whilst also looking at the potential dangers. The children were good at spotting red flag scenarios that they may come across online. The children enjoyed making fun chatterboxes with some questions to ask their friends about E-safety.
