Y6 - Mrs Winters

This week we have been enjoying reading Quest by Aaron Becker. The book is excellent and has allowed us to open our imaginations!

We particularly like that we can all write our own versions of the same story!

Welcome to the new year 6 pupils!!

I hope you have had a restful summer and are fresh and ready for the new school year!

Good luck to year six as they move from Lakeside to start their new journey at secondary school.

We wish you all the very best of luck!! 

Class 12 have thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with recipes for a variety of burger patties.

Hall Cross Dance Showcase

On Monday, year 6 were invited to watch a dance showcase, which was performed by pupils of Hall Cross School. 

Our children found it really interesting, and some were inspired by the technicality and originality in the pieces of contemporary dance.

'I thought it was really technical and you could tell they had spent a lot of time on it' Ruby

'It was really good - I liked how much effort was put in to it and how there was a good variety of dance' 

Emily

'It was really good because it was all so different - there were loads of different movements'

Harry

Children were lucky enough to have a visit from illustrator David Smith, who taught them tricks and tips on how to draw Maya Gods. 

Children in year 6 have been enjoying exploring the properties of 3D shapes. We used the equipment to make a number of shapes, which helped us to identify the properties. We looked at a number of properties: edges, vertices, angles, parallel lines, perpendicular lines and also how shapes were made from nets. 

Fascinating Fractions 

we've been exploring equivalent fractions this week -to start with they were tricky, but we soon got to grips with them ! 

Yesterday we went to Doncaster museum to learn about Charles Darwin, evolution and adaptation as well as fossils and dinosaurs. We had a great day ! 

Welcome to my new year 6 pupils - I'm looking forward to spending the year stretching our brains and working hard as we prepare for sats. I'm also looking forward to having lots of fun along the way! 

Mysterious money matters! 

Class 11 are currently working hard solving a range of tricky money problems. 

They'll soon be financial experts!

Class 11's 'General Election' is in full swing.

Each candidate has their own supporting party who are helping them to present their argument which shows that they deserve to be this week's Fantadtic Fish! 

After an intensive secret ballot, the winner will be announced in Friday's assembly!

Good Luck!

Our Greek day is in full swing! We are currently learning about the lifestyle differences between The Spartans and The Athenians.

Water Resistance Investigation

Class 11 have conducted an investigation to find out about the effects of water resistance. They recognised the importance of a fair test and changed only one variable. Children weighed out five grams of blue tac and then investigated how fast it would travel through water. The variable they changed was the shape of the bluetac, with the aim being to find the shape which travelled through water the slowest.

Ancient Egyptians

We have have been enjoying finding out more about the Ancient Egyptians, using both books and reliable websites on the iPads. This will help us with our topic work, as well as provide us with lots of information for our English work on explanations.
