Volleyball skills

, , , , , , ,

Year 6 have been finessing ther volleyball skills over the last few weeks. They have been practising how to serve and keep the ball in the air by digging up to each other. They have discussed how teamwork is vital to make sure they communicate to pass the ball between each other and to make sure that the same person doesn't touch the ball twice consecutively.

I am impressed with your commitment to this year 6.

Historical detectives

, , , , , , , , ,

Today year 6 explored some sources of evidence about the Vikings. They had to examine each source closely to prove some statements found in history books about the Vikings.

We found out that Vikings did not have horned helmets; they settled in towns and villages with farms; they were skilled craftsmen who traded with other parts of the world. 

Great detective work year 6.

Live lesson about the heart

, , , , ,

Prior to our science topic about the heart and the circulatory system, year 6 watched a BBC Live lesson today. The children were fascinated to find out how the heart pumps around 6 litres of blood around the body per minute. We found out about how the circulatory system delivers oxygenated and deoxygenated blood around the body. We discovered ways to keep our heart healthy too.

What a great way to introduce our topic.
