Robotic Engineering in Y6

Today during our Juniorstem workshop in Y6 we learnt how to use motors, sensors and programing to create, debug and develop algorithms to make our lego models move in different ways. We then followed a set of instructions to create a moving monkey model. 

The children really impressed us with their problem solving and engineering skills.

I am sure we have some budding engineers of the future. 


Y6 Stars of the week 30-4-21

Congratulations to our Y6 Stars Paige, Sonny and Lily.

Paige and Lily worked well together to produce a non-chronological report in science.

Sonny has been trying hard to edit and improve his writing skills.

Burpees in Y6

Yesterday Y6 completed their burpees challenge. We practised, paired up and counted how many burpees we could complete in two minutes.

We had a three-way tie- Coban, Freya and Reuben. Well done for completing a whopping 55 burpees. I was so tired watching you!

Sonny was voted as the person who displayed great teamwork.


Invertebrate Hunt

As part of our science curriculum, Year 6 searched for invertebrates in the local environment today. The fun and excitement during the activity was lovely to see. They found many invertebrates which they used a classification key to identify.

I have attached the key to use at home if they would like to continue their searches and send in photographs of any more discoveries. 


Y6 Creative Homework Projects

Year 6 have amazed us with their fantastic home learning over the Easter holidays. They have been researching plants and animals that have adpated to live in deserts across the world. They then either produced a desert biome model or an information booklet which they then shared with the rest of the class. You all seemed to really enjoy this task and your enthusiasm was very evident when sharing your favourite or most interesting facts with us. 

The work has been displayed in the year 6 classroom or in our library area.

Well done to everbody for joining in.
