This week, the children have started our latest Design Technology project which involves them working in groups of three to design and construct a WW2 tank which can propel a projectile the size of a marble using pneumatics.
Diary of an evacuee!
During World War Two, food was rationed and people had to take advantage of the ingredients they had in their households and ensure nothing went to waste. In year 6, we used ingredients that would have been available at the time to produce some delicious Bread Pudding. The children worked collectively, in teams of 15, to organise and share out the different jobs and roles needed to complete the task. They had a fantastic time getting their hands dirty!
It was great to see the children working together and many clearly enjoyed the fruits of their labour and have given us their verdict!
Evacuation and... self-defence!
Year six had a brilliant day out at Bletchley Park today.
The children have had plenty of chance to explore their creative side this week in science and dance.

This week in theme, the children in year 6 have been learning all about Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of Dunkirk, and discussing whether it was a triumph or defeat. They have also been starting to create their lighthouses for their topic of electricity and light.
The year six children have started their year six journey this week with some excellent behaviour and hard work going on in all four classes. There has also been some time to enjoy sharing their teachers' favourite books and taking part in an assortment of activities related to the stories.
