This week, the Adventurous Explorers went for a walk in our local area. We were model citizens and cleaned up the litter we passed – there was a lot of it!

The children carried out various experiments based on the theory of natural selection. Only the strongest survived and thrived. Unfortunately, the others faced extinction!
On Wednesday afternoon, despite the cold, we took our maths lesson outside and had a lot of fun racing for problems to solve and drawing ‘spiders’ on the playground to show percentages of a number and equivalent values.
We all had a wonderful time in London this week. The children thoroughly enjoyed visiting the photography exhibition and exploring the museum. Using the tube and walking through some of the busy streets of London, was a new experience for many of them but they were all extremely well behaved and a real credit to our school and their families.
This week, we teamed up with Mr Stevens and his Forest School group. We looked at a tribe who live in Indonesia. They build their huts above ground level to protect them from floods and dangerous animals. We then went outside and tried to build our own versions. We got very muddy, but we had a lot of fun!
This week we have enjoyed our active maths lessons both inside the classroom and in the hall. The children took the idea of challenging each other very seriously creating some tricky questions for each other in their own version of the game.
This week we have started our Science work on adaptation and evolution. We looked at using a classification key and making up our own criteria.
We set up the Learning Hub to challenge each other to our own maths questions based on what we have learnt so far in Year 6.
The children came up with some wonderful ideas of what they would like to explore over this half term before completing their map jigsaws. Their teamwork was very impressive!
The children in photography club spent Friday afternoon jumping into the sun and capturing a variety of amazing shots! What else will they come up with over the next few weeks?
