Thursday 9 January 2025 Year 6 Scientific Enquiry Last week Year 6 took part in the dissection of a pig’s heart. This is directly linked to our work in our Blood Heart Topic this term. We had other parts of the pig so we spent time identifying those first. Then we cut the heart open and tried to spot the aorta, right and left ventricle, right and left atrium and valves. It was quite tricky. If we wanted to, we could hold the heart and we were quite surprised how heavy it was. We thoroughly enjoyed this session and it sparked lots of interesting questions.

Friday 13 December 2024 Pause Day Last week we had a Pause Day which is a time for all classes to come off the timetable and do activities based on a common theme. Our theme was Advent, preparing for Christmas, but from a different point of view. We thought about how we can give to others, what our special gifts are and trying to notice what other people do for us. Each child went home with a gift tag that had a comment on written by their class mate, along with a mini advent calendar of kindness which they made.

Thursday 28 November 2024 Year 4 Music Workshop Year 4 were treated to a musical workshop with Pete, where we were getting to grips with the science of sound. Finn, Odessa and Paige were on the guitar and Emily on the drums. We used tuning forks to hear the sound, then we got to see soundwaves on the water with the tuning forks and if we timed it right, we could even splash Mrs Sherston! Everyone got to use the electric drums and show their talents and we all got the music bug! We then used string and made phones so we could hear the sounds and feel the vibrations, then went a step further and made an epic one that went all across the classroom. It was a cool and super scientific day where we could see, feel and hear sound in action.

Monday 30 September 2024 Year 4 Anglo Saxon Day Year 4 were thrown back in time to the days of the Anglo Saxons, we experienced life as it would have been way back when. Some Epic costumes were worn and they all looked the part. Thanks to Mrs James and Mrs Igoe we baked some yummy flapjacks and brewed some mead. The flapjacks were a hit, the mead split the class. We wrote in runes and Mrs Sherston deciphered our messages. We decorated mosaic plates, weaved bracelets and made lavender bags to trade and had an Anglo Saxon market.
