Year 6 have signed up to Lego’s Build the Change challenge! The children must work in teams to design and create built spaces for specific people and purposes. There first challenge is to design and make a party space suitable for a specific person with specific needs. We have been incredibly impressed with the pupils’ great teamwork and their creative ideas when designing.

Year 6 spent hook week looking at light and the eye. We discovered how light travels in science lessons before moving onto our focus artist: M.C. Escher. This artist was famous for drawing an image of his own eye so we sketched our own eyes in the same style. The pupils then critiqued each others’ work and completed a second draft. They were extremely proud of the outcomes!

Year 6 have been busy constructing their Solar System models this week. They have been practising the skills of sawing wood and joining materials with a hammer and nails. The models are coming along nicely and the pupils can’t wait to show them off during their presentation of learning.

Year 6 have been enjoying their Sing Up music sessions this half term. Today, we learned how to keep a strong, steady beat using cups whilst singing What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor.

Year 6 had an amazing crew week focused on the guiding question: How can we get everyone to the top of the mountain? Take a look at our fantastic artwork including all the qualities that the children think they will need to succeed in Year 6.
