Science

Year 6 put their hearts-quite literally-into these plasticine hearts! Some absolute masterpieces and very valuable discussions about which parts went where.

PSHE

A huge thank you to the team from  Healthy Schools who came to speak to Year 6 about the dangers presented by smoking and e-cigarettes in a workshop about the dangers of e-cigarettes and vaping. 

International Day of Languages

Today we used music to open a discussion about languages; what languages they know? Who loves language learning? Why? Some of us are bilingual and we talked about the language, culture and traditions of our families. Those of us who hosted Spanish exchange children shared their experiences. How did they feel? What did we learn? What did we find challenging or rewarding? We found lots football fans were flag experts! Our language enthusiasts were able to show off what they know.

History

We have been asking, 'Is it ever right to fight?' as we begin our learning about war. We have worked in groups to place some battles, conflicts and wars on a timeline of British History. Many of us feel there are some freedoms worth fighting for. 

Buddy Lunch

In our roles as mentors and leaders we met up with our buddies in Reception for lunch.  We had so much valuable talk time.

Science

Year 6 took part in a fascinating hands-on investigation — dissecting a lamb’s heart! The children were excited (and a little nervous!) to see for themselves how the heart works as a pump to circulate blood around the body. They carefully examined the chambers, valves, and major blood vessels, identifying how oxygenated and deoxygenated blood flow through the heart.

We were amazed to discover how similar a lamb’s heart is to a human heart — both have four chambers and work in the same way — but they noticed that the lamb’s heart is smaller and more compact. This was an opportunity to bring their learning about the circulatory system to life and to see real science in action.
