Year 6 PE will be on Tuesday afternoons
In Y6 the children have been designing and making Winter Wonderland themed ferris wheels with a gear system - they have been sourcing materials and actually measuring, using saws, drills, glue guns and problem solving to make working wheels that fit the design brief.
In Y6 this afternoon we have carried out a science investigation into the sugar content of popular drinks and we have been surprised by some of the results. Some fruit juices have so much more sugar in than we expected, and it was shocking to weigh it out in grams and compare with fizzy drinks which we thought would have more. We also talked about other additives in these drinks and what are healthy choices.
In Maths this week, Y6 have dividing numbers using short division, factors and explaining our reasoning. Today we have been outside on a maths trail solving problems involving multiplication and division.
In part of our English this week, we have been looking at playscripts and performing them. We've seen contrasting characters and how they could misjudge each other; the older generation totally underestimated the younger!
In Y6 we are studying the Physics topic of Electricity - building on our work from Y4. We have discussed the power source giving energy to the electrons that makes them move around the circuit. We've sorted materials into electrical conductors and insulators. We've accurately drawn circuit diagrams with correct symbols and today we are planning and carrying out an investigation into the effect of adding more bulbs to a series circuit.
