Year 6 Eagles visited Baverstock Academy this week to take part in some typical Secondary School lessons. Yesterday they had a fabulous music lesson where they played various percussion instruments and recorded a piece of music.
Then in the afternoon they had a science lesson. They learnt how to make fire, made fireworks using Bunsen burners and witnessed a jelly baby explosion. Later the teachers introduced them to some of their class ‘pets’ – a tarantula, bearded dragon and a beautiful corn snake called Charlie. They got to hold and stroke them.
Today we had French. The children were learning names of animals such as Un Singe (monkey) and Un Tigre (tiger). They then played noughts and crosses (in French) and a matching game against the clock.
We have had two really exciting days so far, and cannot wait until Friday to take part in some more lessons.
