In Science this week the children worked in small groups to build their own refracting telescopes! Most groups found that when they looked through the lenses images appeared magnified and upside down.

Don’ Worry, Be Happy!
Year 6 have been playing the glockenspiels this afternoon! They started the lesson with a few warm up activities, including listening to ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’, finding the pulse of the music and singing before learning to play Happy on the glockenspiels.
Super Spelling
In spelling this week Year 6 are focusing on the rule ‘ei’ following the letter ‘c’. The children had to sort the words into two groups to figure out what the spelling rule was for themselves!
Geography
Year 6 had a great time this week using the atlases in Geography! In their topic they are looking at the geography of Russia and Scotland. Their task here was to use atlases to mark cities and oceans onto blank maps.
Experimenting with Shadows
Year 6 have started their topic in science – light. This week the children completed an investigation to find out if the distance of an object from a light source will affect the size of the shadow that is created.
ERIC is back!
Year 6 have had their very first ERIC session of the year today and they really seemed to enjoy it. Before reading, we all shared with the rest of the class what it is we like to read. The children then had some time to read with their friends or on their own – it was their choice!
