Year 6 Ascension Day Celebrations

We have had a fantastic day celebrating Ascension Day with the children sharing their amazing talents.

Day of the Dead art in 5/6M

 

We have immersed ourselves into our art in the afternoons this week. We’ve learnt about the Day of the Dead festival and the role of art in this. We have looked at the work of Frida Karloff and explored the colours and symbols by designing our own calavera.  We loved transferring 2D work onto 3D masks.

SATs Revision Games

Our Year 6 children have been working hard to prepare for their SATs tests next week, so today we played some games to support their revision.

5/6M Forces in Science

We’ve had a busy and fun afternoon investigating the effects of air resistance in Science.  First, we felt the force of air resistance on the playground, then we explored the impact of surface area and finally made paper aeroplanes to determine the impact of a streamlined shape moving through the air.

Safeside trip

Years 5 and 6 visited Safeside, which is a full-sized indoor safety village. They were taught about the fire service, life skills, personal safety, road and car safety and staying safe in the home.

Father Chris leads our RE lessons in Years 5 & 6

Thank you Father Chris for coming in to help us to develop our understanding of salvation. We thought about four pictures and interpreted these in our own way, recording our ideas in the four parts of the cross. Well done Iris, Ernie and Eleanora for some super examples of work.

Worship Leaders lead Easter worship in church

Well done to our amazing worship leaders for leading another fantastic church service.  You always make us so proud and it’s always a pleasure to see you continue to grow in confidence. Thank you Worship Leaders and Sian for your hard work and dedication.

Year 5 Easter Experience

Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed their ‘Easter Experience’ at Church of the Ascension. They participated in different activities based on the Easter story.


We made palm leaves with welcome messages on the back.

We discussed the importance of bread and wine at The Last Supper.

We wrote sorry prayers and thank you prayers.

 

Design and Technology in 6P

In 6P this week, we have been making plans and trying out prototypes for marble runs.

After exploring some commercially produced designs and testing some materials, we are almost ready to begin production on our own. Check back soon to see the finished products.
