Net Monsters
Today we have been working with the nets of 3D shapes. We found it tricky at first- but these 'net monsters' really helped. We have been using our skills to create nets of our own and also using our reasoning skills to explain what mistakes we could spot in some of...
Making our Crumble-mobiles move!
We've been working hard to get our Crumble vehicles - our Crumble-mobiles! - to move in the directions we want them to. This hasn't been easy - we've had wheels that needed to go in different directions because the motors were different ways up (!) and also had to...
Crumble Computing
Today we have been learning to programme a turning sequence on our crumbles. We managed to make the crumbles move forward and back. However, crumbles do not have a right and left function so we had to problem solve in order to achieve this. We discovered that in order...

During this half term, Year 6 have been learning about a variety of forces, including gravitational pull and how it affects us. They have looked at the difference between mass and weight and the units of measure for both. They now know that if they lived on the...
Rhyme time – Adventures of Isabel poetry

We used our knowledge of letters and their key features to sort letters from other genres of writing. We then used our knowledge to then write a letter as though we were one of the characters from “The smartest Giant in Town” to tell George how much he helped.
Decorating for Christmas
We had great fun decorating the classroom ready for Christmas using lights, tinsel, baubles and much more. We also made long paper chains to go across the room. We enjoyed some hot chocolate and crumpets as our snack whilst decorating the tree. We made another tree...

Operation clean up
After the storm at the weekend we started the clean up in our outdoor area. As a class we worked as a team to discuss what should stay out for the winter and what need to be protected from the winter weather. We decided we would like a change around to keep other...
Do bigger ears hear louder sounds?
The children wanted to find out whether bigger ears hear louder sounds? They used the science journal app to record the decibel level for their sounds for different sizes of 'ears'. They really loved making lots of noise way too much. The recorded their results on a...
