UKS2 Science Week Lesson

Today, to mark British Science Week – Year 5 and 6 completed an investigation into the impact of increased glacier melting on our polar and ocean eco-systems. We used ice to represent glaciers and rocks/pebbles to represent continents and sea beds. Our variables within the investigation were made up of: different temperatures of water, sugar water and salt water. We investigated the impact of these variables on the melting time of our ice (glaciers). We then discussed the impact on our ocean and polar eco-systems before looking at how we could further this investigation in the future.

UKS2 Music – 24.01.25

This week in UKS2 for our Music learning – we have looked at the condition Synaesthesia, where people see coloured lights when they hear musical notes or music. We used this knowledge to create synaesthesia artwork for class bespoke songs. We will be listening to each other’s songs and looking at the corresponding artwork next week 🙂

Weekly Newsletter – UKS2 – 29.11.24

This week in Science, we have been investigating the differences between physical and chemical reactions. The children have shown great understanding of this and found the demonstration reactions of burning, melting and solution mixing engaging and supportive in their understanding of the content.

British Values in Class 9 – Values Election

British Values- School Values Election

The children gather to quietly and confidentially vote.

This week, the whole school took part in the big election (no not THAT one!) and voted for the party that represented the school value they felt was most important. Seven children from Class 9 were in Values parties after writing articulately to gain a place in the party. They then spoke up to promote their value and gave out stickers to interested children. The process was a huge success with students very excited about the democratic process. The eventual winners, Positivity, was announced on Thursday in assembly.
