The One With Electricity At Aspire!

Date: 17th Oct 2019 @ 9:38am

Today, Year 6 went to Aspire to take part in an electricity workshop to link in with work we have done in our Science topic. The children were tasked with carrying out an investigation into what would make a bulb brighter/dimmer in a circuit. They all agreed that adding more cells to a circuit would make the bulb brighter as there was more electricity being supplied to the bulb.

The One Where Year 6 Go To Church!

Date: 14th Oct 2019 @ 8:34pm

Year 6 ended their R.E. unit of work with a visit to St.Mark's Church.  The Vicar and Matt (Church Army) answered the children's questions all about life as a Christian and Baptism.  

The One Where No Pens Were Allowed!

Date: 10th Oct 2019 @ 1:52pm

On Tuesday 8th October, the whole school took part in No Pen Day. The aim of the day is to communicate with others and to work collaboratively on set tasks. The day was full of interesting conversations, which allowed the children to think more deeply about their learning.

The One With The Harvest Assembly!

Date: 10th Oct 2019 @ 1:46pm

Today Year 6 led the school in the annual Harvest assembly. The children explained the history of harvest and how we should be thankful for the food we have to eat. We also discussed World Food Day and how we should work together to help put a stop to world hunger. We were joined by Matt Rowley from the Church Army, who also spoke of the importance of helping others and being thankful for what we have. After the assembly, we delivered all the items that had been donated to Vincent House - a charity which helps and supports the homeless in our local area.

The One Where Year 6 Teach Year 1!

Date: 4th Oct 2019 @ 12:18pm

This morning, Year 6 planned and taught an R.E. lesson to Year 1 all about Baptism. By the end of the lesson, the children could describe what happens during a baptism service in church, name the special objects needed for a baptism and explain why it is an important ceremony for Christians.

The One With The Book Bus!

Date: 1st Oct 2019 @ 6:48pm

Today the Book Bus came to visit. Each class had a 20 minute slot to visit the bus and peruse the shelves!! Children were invited to bring £10 so they could buy a book or two. As a school we will receive a percentage of what we made on the day - we will then be able to buy more new books for the school.

The One With The Elections!

Date: 1st Oct 2019 @ 6:39pm

Today the school held its annual class council representative elections. Any child who wanted to put themselves forward for the position was asked to write a manifesto that included why they wanted to be considered for the role and what they thought they could offer. They then had to read these out to their class. Each class then took turns going into the hall to make their vote. The votes were counted by lunch time and in assembly this afternoon the winners were announced.

Congratulation to Charlie and Millie who will be representing their classes this year.

The One Where They Play Hockey!

Date: 1st Oct 2019 @ 6:32pm

Our PE unit this half term is hockey. Over the past few weeks we have been practising keeping control of the ball, dribbling the ball into positions and push passing to a partner. This week we have progressed to playing competitive matches against each other. We are learning to mark a player and intercept the ball when it comes near us. We still need to work on getting into a space and not all crowding around the person with the ball!

The One With The Residential!

Date: 19th Sep 2019 @ 8:33am

What a brilliant few days we have all had together at PGL. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we were busy taking part in exciting activities. Throughout the stay we took part in :

  • Canoeing
  • Climbing wall
  • Buggy building
  • Survivor
  • Raft building
  • Archery
  • Jacob's ladder

There was plenty of food to keep our strength up and lots of games with our leader Lewis in between activities. We all had a brilliant time and made memories for life.

The One With The Library!

Date: 19th Sep 2019 @ 8:11am

Today Year 6 had their first visit to the library @thegrange. We will be visiting every month so that the children can regularly change their books and be exposed to a variety of authors and genres. The books will stay in class as part of quiet reading time during Guided Reading sessions.

The One With The Circuits!

Date: 11th Sep 2019 @ 5:00pm

This week we began our topic of 'Electricity'. We were given a range of electrical components and several tasks to try and complete within a given time. The tasks were to:

  • Create a simple circuit to make a bulb light,
  • Create more complex circuits to make a bulb dimmer/brighter,
  • Add a range of other components into the circuit, such as motors and buzzers,
  • Make a switch to turn the bulb on/off,
  • Test a range of everyday items to work out which ones are conductors/insulators.

Some brilliant learning and discussions took place during the sessions.

 

The One With Mrs. Rose's Stolen Ring!!

Date: 3rd Sep 2019 @ 7:49pm

To link in with our unit on crime, today we had to solve the case of Mrs. Rose’s stolen ring. We were given three clues to look through: shoe scrapings, finger prints and chromatography. Once we had investigated each piece of evidence we were able to whittle 5 suspects down to 2. It turns out Mr. Jones had taken the ring to teach Mrs. Rose a lesson about leaving her valuables lying around!!

Forest School Session 2

Date: 1st Jul 2019 @ 8:14pm

Our second Forest School session saw much better weather as the sun shone down on us all. This week, children enjoyed more digging (along with lots of water and lots of wet, muddy mud!!). Children also had the chance to use tools to build a mud kitchen as well as lighting fires and toasting marshmallows. We are all thoroughly enjoying our time in the Forest School garden.

Learning about Sikhism

Date: 20th Jun 2019 @ 9:36am

This week, DJ Kash came to visit us to tell us all about her religion of Sikhism. She led an assembly on Monday morning and we then we took part in a class workshop. This involved DJ Kash telling us more about Sikhism and her way of life. We finished it off with some 'Bollywood' dancing.

Forest School Session 1

Date: 13th Jun 2019 @ 8:26pm

Today we took part in our first Forest School session. The weather may not have been on our side, however, we didn't let that dampen our spirits. Over 2 hours, we took part in a range of activities such as: fire-making, pond dipping, digging holes, mud painting and toasting marshmallows. We all ended up extremely muddy but we had lots of fun and are looking forward to doing it all again next week!

No Device Day!!

Date: 8th Feb 2021 @ 3:56pm

We've had a great day here in Blue Bubble without our devices. We have spent the day playing games, constructing shapes/towers with art straws and baking. We have made pizzas and peppermint creams and had lots of fun in the process. We are looking forward to having another day like this!!

EXCEL-lent spreadsheets!

Date: 26th Jan 2021 @ 7:37pm

It’s not easy being without our teachers but we are doing a great job with our home learning by listening to and following video tutorials that Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Rose make for us. In Computing, we have completed 2 lessons on spreadsheets – both with a video tutorial to follow. This included learning how to add data to cells, change colour and font of text as well as the size of text and cells. We then progressed to learning how to use formulae in cells to complete calculations. In today’s lesson, we learned how to turn data into graphs and how to add a filter to sets of data so that we could order it smallest to largest and vice versa. We think we are doing well with our work!!
