Freddie Fit was so uplifting today and the children really enjoyed the different activities over the afternoon. Keeping active, staying hydrated, a good balanced diet and sensible sleep habits were discussed in his sessions which are so important to stay focused.
Well done year 6.

Mr Harrison, currently working as a Student Teacher in Year 5, has been passing on his skills as a Children's Entertainer to groups of children from Year 5 and 6 during Good to be Green time each Friday! They are being taught how to create illusions, such as disappearing colour, and how to make sword balloons! As you can see they are having great fun! Mrs Blomeley

In Computing last half term, Year 6 learned how to use 3D modelling software 'Tinkercad'. They really enjoyed using this and picked up the skills very quickly. Their end task was to design a pencil pot with a list of given criteria. They had to accurately create shapes and add holes to them for the pencils to fit. They also added a personal design onto their pencil pots using various methods. I have chosen Tilly's design to make a 3D model of- she really worked hard on her design. In assembly today she received a (much smaller) prototype of her pencil pot.
This term our topic question is 'Skellig: is it a bird or mythical creature?' We will read David Almond's 'Skellig' and look at how animals and plants are classified scientifically. We will link this to our geography learning looking at how animals and plants are adapted to live in desert conditions.
Please see the attached overview of our topics this term. Also find the home learning grid for additional activities which can be completed at home.
Have a Hoppy Easter to our families. Be safe and take time to enjoy being with your family.
