It's SCIENCE WEEK! We did an experiment to find out whether cans of fizzy pop floated. We predicted that cans that were diet pop might float more than full fat BUT we were wrong!!!! The cans actually turned upside down and all floated. How cool! Here are some pictures to show us doing our experiment with Mrs Turner from Year 5.

Today we had a special visit from Stuart the gardener and some of his helpers. We asked them to help us grow a rainbow. Stuart and his helpers showed us some bulbs that we can plant and pictures of the flowers that will grow. We can't wait to help the gardeners plant the bulbs and watch our rainbow grow next week!

Amazing Aeroplanes at Manchester Airport!
Date: 11th Mar 2020 @ 8:08pm
On Monday Year one went on a trip to Manchester Airport Runway Visitors Park. The children had a fantastic day and enjoyed every minute!
They loved travelling to the visitors park by double decker coach and spent most of the journey there and back looking out of the windows and telling one another about all of the places they know in Manchester as well as pointing out all of the different types of transport they could see.
As soon as we arrived at the Visitor park we were lucky enough to spot (and hear) a huge plane taking off from the runway infront of us! The children were amazed and enjoyed spending time watching the huge planes take off and land.
We enjoyed our lunches in the warm classrooms before heading to a special tour of the visitors park! The childrne loved dressing up as different workers from the airport and had a great time being a pilot in the front of the plane and pressing all of the buttons - we defintily have some pilots in the making!

Today we had a very special delivery. Our class learning powers poster. When Mrs Ganner showed it to the class two of the children recognised it and they took us into the atrium to show us where they'd seen it before. We agreed that although they were the same poster, there were some things that were not the same. Our class poster was smaller and it was flexible but the one in the atrium was gigantic and hard to touch so it wouldn't move like our flexible poster.
We embrace our learning powers in Nursery because it is important to understand how we can achieve our goals. We are super learners and we are very proud of that.

Don't forget it's our class assembly on Friday 13th March 2020. It starts at 9:10am in the hall. It is also sports relief on this day so the children should dress up in sporty clothes. Hope to see you there!
How to say words with past simple ed endings
Date: 11th Mar 2020 @ 9:18am
Here's one of our Y6 children sorting words into those that have the sounds /t/, /d/ or /id/ at the end of regular past simple words. It's so tricky because they all end in ed, but we do not say ed !

In PE we created our own Roman dances. We combined different movements and created a sequence of the movements.

Even though the chicks have left for their home on the farm, we are still learning about the place they live. We have been designing our own small world farms. We don't know what a real farm looks like yet so we have lots of books in our classroom and farm toys to help us imagine what one looks like. Would you like to visit farms like ours?

We have been enjoying learning about the Traditional Tale, Little Red Riding Hood over the last few weeks. We have dressed up, retold the story with actions and we have drawn our very own wolves for our Guided Draw books. (Look at the big one we made on World Book Day for a display) When our backs were turned the wolves got together for colour group photos! Imagine having packs of wolves roaming around the classrooms 😂

As part of Science Week we used our skills as scientists to explore the natural world outside to see if we could find a rainbow of colours outside. We found some of the colours and brought them back into class, gluing them onto our indoor class rainbow. We will keep looking for other things as they grow outside that are the colours we need. Can you see anything that we can add to our rainbow?

As part of Science Week this week, we deciding to experiment with creating colours. We love rainbows, they are so beautiful and we wondered if we could create our own rainbow. We decided to put white flowers into food colouring and water to see what would happen. Some of us thought it would kill the flowers and we gave the experiment a thumbs down 👎🏽. Others thought it would change the colour of the flowers and we thought this prediction deserved a thumb and finger choosing sign 'the colours will choose to change the white'. Some of us thought the flowers would stay the same 👍🏽
We also chose which day we thought the flowers would have changed colour and then we made a living graph by standing next to that day. Can you look at the photos and work out which day was the most popular?
UPDATE: We didn't complete a full rainbow but two colours in particular were very good at sucking up the food colouring through the stems which they dyed the petals. Look on the pictures to find out which they were.
World Book Day lasted a few days!

To finish a week of work linked to characters in our favourite books we invited our adults to come in and share a book with us. We love reading and, even more than that, we love sharing books with people. Over the past week we have shared books, dressed up as Traditional Tales characters, created a display for the shared area outside our classrooms and had a brilliant time celebrating our love of books. We can't wait until next year!

Both Year 6 classes worked with the team form the NSPCC and had an opportunity to further discuss some of the things that might worry children and how they can find help by speaking out to someone they trust or even by contacting Childline on 0800 1111
We also discussed some of the people, places and things that make us feel safe.

Year 6 Electrical circuits and alarms

What an exciting week we have had!
On Monday we were rockstars!
Mrs Ranyard launched our new TT Rockstars programme in assembly. Malachai is already a TT Rock Hero who can answer times table questions in one second or less. How amazing is that!!!!! Mrs Hodges is a Wannabee rock star but don't worry she is practising really hard to improve her rock speed. You can do it Mrs Hodges!

On Thursday we celebrated World Book Day and we dressed up as characters from our favourite traditional stories.
Mrs Thewlis dressed up as the Queen of Hearts.
The upper key stage 2 team dressed up as character from The Three Little Pigs. They even acted out the story for us. Who knows we may see them on Britains Got Talent next year.
