  • Happy Vaisakhi 12/04/24

    Published 17/04/24, by Vicki Gore

    In Year 6 today, we have been celebrating the British Values of everyone's similarities and differences. As part of our schools' cultural capital, we celebrate Vaisakhi ( a festival within the Sikh faith). Vaisakhi celebrates the founding of the Sikh community; the Khalsa.  In Year 6, the children researched the history of this tradition and explored how Sikhs around the world celebrate Vaisakhi, presenting their work using their skills within computing (Information Technology). In addition to this, all children across the school were treated with ice cream as an act of Sewa (giving to others) from Mrs Kaur.

    How do our veins and arteries work? What is inside our blood? As part of British Science Week, the children in Year 6 explored these questions in more detail. To begin with, the children took part in a practical activity to learn about how blood circulates through the heart:

     

        

        

    Year 6 took a look inside blood, identifying the four main components: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

  • World Book Day 2024

    Published 07/03/24, by Vicki Gore

    Today, Thursday 7th March, the children celebrated World Book Day by coming into school in the PJs (or own clothes). They were fortunate enough to learn from an author, Sofie Georgiou, who came to the school to talk about her book’ Emma’s European Adventure.’

    So… to begin with, Y6 went outside and read the book in pairs to find out more about it:

    Greg Lassiter and Sofia Georgiou, the authors of Emma’s European  Adventures, are two accomplished individuals . Their joint venture is a  testament to their dedication to making a positive impact on young minds across the globe. Through this enchanting tale, they aim to reach children from all walks of life, fostering a love for learning, exploration, and cultural diversity. Y6 got the opportunity today to ask Sofia some questions about her book and the ideas behind it.

  • BBC Micro:Bits

    Published 08/11/23, by Vicki Gore

    Do you know how to program a computer? In Year 6 this week, we have been exploring coding with the use of our new BBC Micro:Bit miniature computers. The children enjoyed exploring their new 'pocket-sized computers', giving them names and using a simple drag-and-drop coding interface similar to other coding platforms that they have been taught to use in previous years, to create a simple name badge.

    Through the use of Micro:Bits, children are encouraged to explore ideas using real code. The device provides an authentic experience of the interaction between hardware and software and gives children practical computer knowledge. Using it, they can see how what they do with the code on-screen has a direct impact on the device they're holding in their hand.

    Watch this space to see all the amazing skills the children will get to use over this half-term...
