Year 6 OAA

Year 6s have been enjoying their OAA (Outdoor Adventurous Activities) PE lessons. They have been working well in teams, matching pictures and map symbols as well as taking part in obstacle courses!

Year 6 World Book Day

Year 6s enjoyed being able to come into school in their PJs/Cosy clothes for the day! We spent the day reading and listening to a variety of different texts and produced some artwork to go with the story ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ by Drew Daywalt. Playing a game of ‘Find the Golden Ticket’ was also a highlight!

Year 6 Careers Week

Below are some pictures from our Careers Week, where the children had visitors from Shrewsbury Town Football Club, Julia Buckley and The Mayor of Shrewsbury. Children also had an opportunity to come up with and ask questions about a variety of careers in the ‘Careers Workshop’, as well as taking part in a Dance workshop.

LIGHT

Today in Science, we were looking at how light travels and the path light takes to reach our eyes!

Year 6 Autumn 2 Learning

Throughout Autumn 2 we were learning about Extreme Weather in our Geography lessons – how different weathers are formed, the impact they have and where in the world they occur. We have also been learning about Electricity in Science including how to make series circuits, the components needed to make a complete circuit, what a non-complete circuit is and the effect the components have on the circuit.

Year 6 at Christmas time!

Please see some photos of our year 6s getting into the festive spirit, including decorating the classroom, attending the Pantomime and our school Christmas dinner!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!!

Sparrowhawks Autumn Term DT – Celebrating Seasonality and Culture

In DT this term, we have been learning about bread. We looked at the history of bread and the many varieties  bread can come in. We then taste tested different types/flavours of breads which was a sensory evaluation allowing us to judge quality, preference, or identify different combinations. In conclusion from this, we designed our final outcome which included our preferred flavours and design of bread. During the making of the bread, we used many skills, including measuring of the ingredients and kneading of the dough. We allowed the bread to rise in heat (proving) before baking it in the oven. Once baked, we then did an evaluation of the bread which included rating it out of 5 for appearance, taste and purpose.
