Sky Arts Week - 3D Mark Making
The Circulatory System - Today we have explored the chambers, valves and major blood vessels of a sheep's heart to improve our understanding of how the heart works.
Nets of Shapes - we have used Polydron to help us with our formation of nets.
PE - we have been working with Lipson Community Academy Sports Specialists
Fair Trade Smoothies
Science Week - We went bug hunting!
Fair Trade Crumbly Banana Squares.
We have been learning about Wassily Kandinsky, his life and his art.
Our DT project this term was to construct bird hides.
Investigating reflection
In order to investigate how light travels, Year 6 have made two different types of periscope. Periscopes are used in submarines and were also used in the trenches during the First and Second World Wars.
Investigating Shadows.
Today, Year 6 have been investigating the effect of the position of the light source on the size and shape of the shadow. They have carried out a fair test by keeping the object, torch and rule the same but varying the distance of the light source from the object and measuring the size of the shadow
Investigating Circuits
In Science, our focus this term is electricity so we have been carry out a series of challenges.
Firstly, we had to create a simple working circuit to show how much we remembered from Year 4.
Then, using a variety of battery types, wires and bulbs, we investigated how we could change the brightness of a bulb.
Next, we had hands on examples of the effects of ‘overloading’ a circuit with too many bulbs or motors. The power from the cell or battery is shared between them.
Finally, we had to create a circuit using a switch that we had made ourselves with items found in the classroom.
