Computer Programmers in Year 6

Happy New Year and welcome back to school Year 6! It has been a fantastic start to the term with children demonstrating excellent behaviour - and what an exciting first week back it has been, with the children becoming game designers in computer programming.

The children were set the challenge of creating a catching game which involved three sprites falling at different speeds, a timer and a score system. We were so impressed with their resilience and problem solving to debug any issues with their algorithms. They also showed great teamwork and communication as they evaluated each other's games.

Getting creative with DT and Music!

In Year 6, the children have listened to and appraised a range of musical styles, such as swing, jazz and ballad songs. They have then learned how to compose and improvise using the pentatonic scale on glockenspiels and keyboards.

The nursery children had a lovely surprise when Year 6 came to visit and test the toys they had made in design and technology. It was wonderful to see children of both ages interacting whilst playing with the hand-turned CAM mechanism toys.

Loving Learning in the Lake District

Year 6 have ended the first half term with a residential in Keswick, in the scenic Lake District. We were so impressed with the children's geographical skills, including using directional language and six grid references on an OS map.

The instructors and members of the public were delighted by the excellent behaviour and manners of the children as they carried out surveys in Keswick centre and faced the challenge of climbing Cat Bells.

Super Surrealist Self-Portraits

The children have made an excellent start to Year 6 and have demonstrated an artistic flair by creating a surrealism self-portrait. Using tonal contrast, guidelines to draw the correct proportions and symbolism to represent their identity, the children have created artwork inspired by Frida Kahlo and other surrealist artists.
