2nd February - EPS Magazine
Y5 and Y6 journalists have been working on the EPS digital Magazine over the past three months. You can see their work here:
January 20th 2023 - Ukrainian Story Time
January 13th 2023 - Science
Y6 Scientists have conducted hands-on investigations into pitch, utilising straws and champagne flutes!
January 2023 - Outdoor Skills
Y6 Leopards continue to take part in an onsite Outdoor Skills project on Friday afternoons. Mr Clements, a qualified Forest School Practitioner, works with groups of four children on a range of outdoor activities to promote teambuilding and boost confidence, featuring bushcraft elements such as safe working with tools and fire. It's a great way to build camaraderie and to get ready for the Skern residential!
December 2nd - Celebration Assembly
A huge "thank you" to all the parents and carers who supported our Y6 Celebration Assembly this morning. We reflected on individual achievements and the collective growth on display since starting our Year 6 journey. Well done, Leopards - we are immensely proud of each and every one of you.

14th November - Antibullying Week
Today in PSHE, as part of our Antibullying learning, we made our own supportive network hand. We chose 5 adults we could turn to for support. We also added the emergency services, CEOP, our school website and Childline. Have a look at what Childline can do to help anyone in need of support.
14th November - Odd Socks Day!
Today is Odd Socks Day to start our Antibullying Week. We could wear odd socks to express ourselves and show what makes us all unique!
4th November Sound Investigations
Year 6 explored the ways sound travels through solids, liquids and gases, making connections between what they experienced and the particle models of those states of matter.
20th October DAW-inspiring soundscapes
As an end-of-half-term finale, Year 6 students played their part in creating an oceanic soundscape inspired by their class text, Struan Murray's Orphans of the Tide. Using a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) called Ableton Live Lite, a MIDI keyboard and digital sounds sampled by Spitfire Audio (including the BBC Symphony Orchestra), the children created a baton relay of cello sounds. You can see part of the process and enjoy the final mix below:

We always enjoy our digital interactions with the authors whose books we read together as a class. |

30th September Green Up Your Act Workshop
Year 5 and 6 enjoyed an environmental workshop with Phil from Green Up Your Act. From sustainability to food miles, recycling to soil quality, we have lots to think about and put into practice on our journey to a greener future. Enjoy harvesting the micro-greens!
Growth Mindset: Setting Goals for the Year Ahead
We're excited about the new school year that lies ahead of us. Year 6 students reflected on areas of potential growth and used an infographic technique (a radar chart or spider chart) to show their thoughts visually. We're looking forward to supporting each other as we strive to reach our goals.
