Year 6

ART! We have been MAKING MEMORIES! 

This week in art, Year 6:

• explored expressing themselves in a 'literal' and 'symbolic' way
• represented memories through shapes, colours and textures
• looked at real artists' work and discussed how they could use elements of it in their own…

Well done Y6 - we have looked at classification of animals using various sorting diagrams including branch diagrams. Before we began grouping different animals, we sorted and ordered some sweets to test the 'rigidity' of our questions!

We journeyed out of school to the Ellesmere Port Boat Museum.  We had lots of fun and lots of learning in our workshops today including:

• Magic of Chemistry
• Detective Science
• Road Markings
• Busy Bees

Well done all!

Y6 were faced with a Design and Technology challenge: to design and make their very own playground!

They had to:

• Create five apparatus designs, applying the design criteria to their work.
• Make suitable changes to their work after peer evaluation.
• Make roughly three different…

Today, Year 6 discussed the ever increasingly concerning world of social media. In particular, we discussed which information is 'okay' and 'not okay' to put online. Thank you all for a very honest and open discussion - I hope you all reflect carefully about the important subject matter we…

A super trip with the Year 6 children today. We went to Birkenhead Park - the blue-print for the world famous Central Park in New York City. We looked at all the features that make a great park. After half-term we will be using this as inspiration to design and make our very own playgrounds in…

In music this week, the children looked at the key words of 'texture', 'dynamics' and 'tempo'.

We learnt how to 'conduct' and then created our own 'rain music' - very creative!

We are super proud of our Y6 story writers this week. We have written our own stories with a moral message. We then created illustrations and animations of our stories. Our results were FANTASTIC!

Rain does not stop play in Y6! Great to see traditional games being played at 'wet-break' in Y6 today.

A great science week - well done Y6!

In computing, Y6 made their own powerpoints all about the history and development of computer technology. We paid particular attention to the workings of the 'Enigma Machine' during World War 2.

We learnt to embed content, create animations and hyperlinks (both within and across…

In Art this week, Y6 have been recreating their own 'photorealistic self-portraits'.

We focussed on observation and proportion in order to create art in a photorealistic style.
