Thank you so much to all the children who bought raffle tickets for the Easter Raffle. We raised a total of £71.20 for the school fund.
Today in the HIRB we have been discussing Easter and Eid celebrations. Last week we shared and sequenced the Easter story. This week we have enjoyed making Eid sweets and Easter cakes and sharing how our different families will be celebrating over the holidays. We have also been learning some Easter and Eid signs.
Our topic for this half term is a geography focus, answering the question ‘Where do I live and what is nearby?’. We have looked at where we live and our addresses, human and physical features in our local area and a range of maps. As part of our unit of work we wrote a letter home to our parents and then walked to the local post office to post our letter. The children loved talking about all the things they could see and the journey they took.
In DT we have been making moving pictures linked to the theme of minibeasts. We investigated 3 different moving mechanisms, a pivot, a slider and a wheel and then chose our favourite to incorporate into our finished piece. I think you will agree they are fantastic!
In science we have been learning all about out senses and have carried out a number of practical sessions including feeling items from a feely bag and guessing what they were, tasting and smelling foods and trying to figure out what they were and also a listening walk. Science week this year focussed on time and we completed an investigation into which jelly would set the quickest. We compared 3 different jellies, 1 plain jelly, 1 containing fruit and one containing jelly sweets.

In DT, year 6 have been making replica Anderson shelters. This is linked to our history topic of WW2. The children had to construct a frame out of wood by sawing lengths of different sizes and joining them together. They then decorated the shelters with card and tissue paper. We are very pleased with how well they turned out!
Well done to the following children that have been selected to sit at the Captain’s Table.
