Year 6 began their World Book Day celebrations with a return visit to Ashton Manor residential care home. We enjoyed an afternoon of sharing some of our favourite books with the residents, chatting about books they enjoyed reading as children and they even helped us with a book character quiz.

We have been learning about the abstract sculptures of Eva Rothschild and today we made our own. We had to really concentrate to make sure they had stability and could stay up! We really enjoyed it as you can see by our photographs.

Today, we have learnt about Sir Isaac Newton and how he invented gravity. We used the Newton meters (which were named after him) to find out the mass and weight of objects and the link between the two.

Now we have finished our individual projects on the countries of North and South America, we have spent some time reading each other’s projects. We looked out for the most interesting or surprising physical and human geography facts. We certainly learnt a lot from each other this afternoon!

This week, we have been using rulers to measure. We have centimetre rulers and metre rulers. Here we are finding objects taller/longer or shorter than a metre. We have also measured the school hall and found out that it’s 15m long!

Today, we have taken part in our Y3/4 Intra sports. We played bench ball and had to work as a team to score points. We used tactics and spatial awareness to outwit our opponents.
