  Today, year 6 made brownies from their own recipes. All brownies looked great and after evaluating the look of their brownies, they carried out a taste test! They were all impressed with their own brownies, but were all able to suggest things that could be done to improve them further!

  English

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  As a school, we are in need of nice new team kit to match our fabulous new uniform. Therefore, year 6 carried out various activities to help persuade a company to sponsor this new kit. Some children wrote a letter, some drew some great designs and posters about why we needed the new kit and some even made a short film to help persuade them. Well done year 6, hopefully we will get a favourable response from the company soon!

  RE - How do Muslims show Commitment?

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  This week, we learnt that the fourth pillar of Islam is ‘Sawm’. During the month of Ramadan every year, Muslims do not eat or drink at all during the hours of daylight. Muslims fast because God says in the Qur’an that they should. Fasting is a way of showing that they are living in the way that God wants and remembering people who are hungry. We discussed whether the children think that fasting is necessary for Muslims to show their commitment to God?

They applied this understanding to IP addresses and the rules (protocols) that computers have for communicating with one another. Year 6 also used a Domain Name Server (DNS) to translate web addresses into IP addresses.
