Year Six are showing off all the skills they've learnt over the past few weeks in gymnastics. First step? Stretching those muscles!

Year Six started their latest writing topic by identifying features of a newspaper report. Finding the shape of the text - we discussed the layout and order of a newspaper and which features a reporter would use to 'hook' in their reader.

Year Six #evolved as we learnt about evolution of mockingbirds and finches. We tested different tools as bird bills and investigated their effectiveness at gathering food.

Year Six rounded off a great week of school with a gymnastics session and developing their balancing skills.

Year Six enjoyed meeting Lancs Fire & Rescue to discuss all things road safety - which links in brilliantly as we are due to take part in Bikeability very soon!

Year Six have been studying adaptation in science, and have tested how animals have adapted to survive in harsh environments. This time, polar bears - using iced water and lard. We tested how effective lard is as an insulator 

Year Six had a blast in computing - editing photographs in Pixlr - using a range of tools such as hue, saturation, dehazing, contrast and temperature to alter photographs and achieve new effects.
