Year 6 have been learning about the heart.  We looked at the different parts and their functions.  To investigate this further, we dissected a lamb’s heart.

We then investigated how the heart pumps blood by creating a model.  We created a valve to show how blood is prevented from going the wrong way.

As part of our PE lesson, we looked at pulse rates and how they increase.  We discovered that our hearts beat faster with more intense activities.

KS2 had a Zoom session with a scientist.  We were able to ask her questions and she gave us some fascinating answers.

We also explored what blood is made up of and its function.  We represented this using different ingredients.

Leila was chosen by 3 different adults for her writing this week.  Well done!

Year 6 have had a fantastic week celebrating all things books.

We enjoyed swapping books that we have enjoyed so that others can experience them too.

The children enjoyed the visit from Jo Clarke.  We learned lots of useful tips regarding how to write a great story.

Our local librarian visited to tell us how to make the most of the library – I’m sure lots of the children will be visiting soon.

Lots of Elm class enjoyed dressing up on ‘World Book Day’.

We also enjoyed coming back to school during the evening for a story, biscuits and hot chocolate.  It was lovely to see the older children sharing books with the younger ones.

Year 6 enjoyed the poetry workshop with Paul Jenkins.  We even created a collaborative poem with him.

Finally, we were very impressed with the cakes inspired by books.

We can’t wait to spend the book tokens.

We had a brilliant PE lesson this week.  10 year 6 children planned and led 5 activities to develop the football skills of others.  The adults observed fantastic teamwork and positive attitudes from all involved.
