Look what our year group has been up to! 2023-24

Winmarleigh PGL Residential

We had such a fabulous time on our PGL Residential at the beginning of the year. We got to take part in many activities and games. Some of our favourite activities included The Giant Swing, Problem Solving, Climbing Wall and Aeroball. We also got to build a campfire in the evening where we got to toast marshmallows and sing songs.

Times Table Rockstar Day

We celebrated Times Table Rockstar Day in our fabulous rockstar outfits and played a range of fun games to help us learn our times tables.

Science: Making Blood

In Science, to help us learn what blood is made up of, we practically made it ourselves.

First Aid Training

We took part in a First Aid workshop which followed on from our workshop last year, building on our existing first aid skills.

Computing

We have been learning how to use conditional formatting. We created rules for our spreadsheet to follow and created some pixel art.

We also have used conditional statements to control how and when sprites move when making our space invaders game! We added annotations to our code to explain our decisions.

British Black History Workshop

One Day Creative visited our school to provide workshops during Black History Month. We interacted by using drama to create freeze frames and hosted an awards ceremony to celebrate key significant figures.

Anti-Bullying Week: Odd Socks Day

We marked the start of Anti-bullying week by coming into school in odd socks. We also had the chance to design our own odd socks.

History: Western Approaches Trip

We immersed ourselves in all things WWII at Western Approaches underground bunker. We learnt a lot about the impact of WWII and The Blitz on the city of Liverpool.

Spanish-Themed Day

We celebrated our school's Spanish-themed day with lots of fun activities, quizzes and games. Our school chef even prepared Spanish food for us for lunch.

Science: DNA and our Bodies Workshop

We took part in a fabulous workshop all about DNA and our bodies, linked to one of our Year 6 Science topics.

Art: Portraits

We began our art topic 'Portraits' by researching the artist Pablo Picasso. We will be comparing and contrasting his work to the work of another artist: Leonardo Da Vinci.

We had some special representatives from The University of Liverpool visit us in school to talk to us about our aspirations for the future.

Well done to the children in Year 6 who received a certificate and prize for excellent or most improved attendance! Keep it up!

Children's Mental Health Week

What a lovely morning we had with The Inclusive Hub who provided a wonderful workshop for us to celebrate Children's Mental Health Week. We had the opportunity to make some bath salts and enjoyed adding colour and scent to them. We also looked at positivity and all the positive things in our lives.

World Book Day

Year 6 read The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse on World Book Day. We created our own extracts for the book in the style of the author Charlie Mackesy. We created some wonderful extracts and thoroughly enjoyed doing so!
