  DT - Making a moving vehicle

  Posted by Miss L Heward

  Year 6 did an amazing job making a moving vehicle using they design they created for their reception buddies. They used a variety of equipment, including hacksaws and g-clamps to create the product, and used a range of recycled materials to finish the vehicle so it was a product their target audience would be excited to play with. The year 6's needed to cut their materials to size to create a stable frame, before using a axels and wheels to allow the car to roll. They then created an electric circuit to include a pulley system to power the vehicle. As ever, with any design and make product the ongoing process needed constant evaluation and tweaking in order to produce a working model which the children approached with great determination. We are really looking forward to showing the reception buddies the finished result.

  PE - World Cup Day!

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  Today, year 6 had a great time when a team came in to introduce the World Cup Fever! The day included a flag familiarization quiz and three challenges inspired by Erling Haaland, where pupils were tasked with a football themed obstacle course designed to test their agility, balance and strength; Harry Kane where they perfected their accuracy, coolness, and finishing flair with our inflatable target goal and Cristiano Ronaldo where they tested their power with a speed gun. The children got straight into the activities and they all thoroughly enjoyed the day! Mrs Lawday even got the highest teacher score with the Ronaldo speed gun!

  PSHE - Mental health

  Posted by Miss L Heward

  Today we explored the definition of mental health and what good mental health looks like. We explored the balance between challenge and support and surmised that when challenge outweighs support that's when mental health issues can arise. Year 6 shared things they could do to improve mental health and we all agreed that sharing the issues will give us the greatest amount of immediate support

  PE - orienteering

  Posted by Mrs N Lawday

  Today, year 6 tested a new orienteering course! There were a few teething problems, but the children worked well as a team and covered quite a distance while running from one marker to another. They then worked very well in their house teams to do their own stretches.
