YEAR 6 ARMS (RED)
Mrs Humberston & Ms WoodWelcome to 6H (ARMS Provision) Class Blog!
In 6H our class teacher is Mrs Humberston & our fantastic teaching assistant is Ms Wood.
The children in this class work very hard but also have a lot of fun.
They have the superb reputation of being one of the most polite and well behaved classes in the school.
The children come from all over Gateshead and some are lucky enough to get a taxi to school.
We all are very kind and respectful towards each other and have lots of fun learning together.
We would like to use this blog to share our homework, our ideas, our fascinating finds, upcoming events and photographs, and we`d really like to know what everyone thinks of them.
Keep Blogging!

Robotics Workshop
We had a great time at Robotics Workshop! During this workshop, we got the opportunity to programme our very own robots using a VexCode Programme to complete tasks. We began by getting our robots to do a simple task of just moving around a cube. However, by the end of the session we could advance our coding even further to get our robots through an obstacle course, where we could even get it to light up different colours and even say ‘Ta-Da!’ at the end.

Creations to help Jim and the giant
We designed and created cup and string phones to help the giant communicate with Jim since Jim chopped the beanstalk down. We had great fun testing them to make sure they would be able to hear each other too!
