Science

Year 6 (Year 6) on: Year 6 Class Blog

Today in Science, we investigated another classification kingdom - Fungi. 

We began by creating an observational sketch of a mushroom to identify the features of different fungi. We then explored mould and why mould develops on different food items, but do not worry - you can still eat blue cheese as this mould is produced from a different family of spores!

We then summarised our learning through the publication of our own Mouldy Bread Books!

Forest School

Year 6 (Year 6) on: Year 6 Class Blog

This week in Forest School, Year 6 continued to work on their RSPB Wild Challenge by creating their own bottle bird-feeder. The children showed great teamwork skills along with a great knowledge of outdoors, identifying the most suitable place to position their bird-feeder.

We then enjoyed some juice and a KitKat together in the sunshine - a lovely way to end this half-term!

Creating our Batik artwork

Year 6 (Year 6) on: Year 6 Class Blog

This week in Year 6, we have been creating our own piece of Batik artwork inspired by Friday Kahlo's self-portrait. 

We began by drawing our design and transferring this onto our fabric. We then used tjantings - a pen-like tool used in batik - to apply our wax to our design. Once this wax had dried, we used a range of fabric dye to fill our design with beautiful bright colours. 

Year 6 truly searched faithfully for excellence when creating these beautiful pieces of artwork!
