5A and 5D dissect lungs

After such an amazing heart dissection last week, Y5 showed even more exploration skills by dissecting lungs including feeling the trachea and comparing it to the oesophagus' texture; blowing up the lungs using bronchi and also cutting down bronchioles to see the mucus and many routes. #independentexplorers #scientistsoftomorro

Y5 French directions treasure hunt

Y5 have been learning how to describe their town, creating their own local maps and labelling them with the French names. We then moved on to learn directions so that we can make sure we can find our way in French speaking countries! To put our new language to the test, we did a French treasure hunt where we all had to read and translate the French directions to record the correct answer and  find the next clue until we managed to locate the hidden treasure... Super work practising French oral and reading skills.

5D and 5A dissect hearts!

As part of their circulatory system work in biology this term, Year 5 have been dissecting hearts to learn more about the structure, blood flow and key arteries and veins. It was great to see our young scientists doing hands on exploration to learn more!

Y6 grow their own micro-organisms!

Check out Y6 investigating micro-organisms using petri dishes and micro-scopes. Amazing hands on exploration! I wonder where the most active microbes were found!?

Languages morning making Spanish Salsa and Guacamole

The Super Six and other languages pupils had the chance to translate recipes from Spanish to create their own guacamole and salsa dips to try with tortillas! They also planned games with the reception class, verbal guess who Spanish games, cafe role play and created a giant model of the Eiffel tower!

Y5/6 experience the Young Shakespeare's production of The Tempest

Years 5 and 6 were treated to an amazing, interactive performance of Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' on Monday afternoon by the Young Shakespeare Company. The actors superbly engaged everyone in the tale of the islanders and the spirits that Prospero controls in order to seek revenge on those who tried to kill him and his daughter Miranda but who later learns the power of forgiveness. The children were added into many roles and showed super improvisation skills and w

ere a great audience too.

A morning in the woods with Mr Teesdale!

Having endured some hard working weeks of exams, Mr Teesdale thought a morning in the woods was just what Year 6 needed. The children enjoyed  ‘Gods eye’ weaving, tree planting, shooting and hot chocolate drinking! Just the ticket for all! 

Y6 present Spanish weather forecasts!

Y6 have been putting their Spanish weather phrases to the test by presenting their own weather forecasts. Super pronunciation and expression! Muy bien!

Y6 Investigate cells #Independentexplorers

 Y6 investigating cell structures using microscopes and also dissecting flowers to learn their different parts. Excellent biology exploration!
