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.

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.

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!

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!!

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!!

Today, Year 6 took part in a 90 minute online safety talk with Bernadette from WIRED. The session talked about how we can stay safe online and the dangers of being on social media sites. She went through ways in which APPs like Tik Tok can be dangerous/inappropriate for children and what children should be looking at if they do go on these sites.
We are also having another talk next week to go further into online safety.
Team Work Makes The Dream Work

What a challenging lesson today’s OAA was! The pictures say it all!!!
Our first activity was to split into two groups and run through the hoola hoop obstacle course at the same time as the other team. Once we were face to face with our opponent, we had to play ‘rock, papers, scissors’ and the winner could carry on their journey as the other person had to go to the back of their line. As soon as one person made it to the other side, they won a point for their team.
Our next task consisted of us getting into groups of 4/5 where we had to balance the hoola hoop on the back of our hands (on our fingers). We then had to follow particular commands whilst the hoola hoop balanced such as: kneel down, raise your arms up, put one arm behind your back, lift one leg up etc… This tested our patience with our team and relied on good communication skills.
Our final task was to get into groups of 8 where we were given a number 1-8. There were 9 cones and we had to get in numerical order but only by moving one space (and person) at a time, and using the blank space. to achieve this This is a similar concept to the game slider puzzle.
We can’t wait to see what next week’s lesson has in store for us!

This week we have been doing lots of activities around Anti-bullying day. We thought about how we can be kind and support each other, how we can make sure everyone has a friend and who and where we can go if we feel upset or need to share something with someone. We also all wore odd socks to celebrate our differences and anti-bullying day. it is our differences that we need to celebrate and these differences which make us special. Take a look at some of odd sock picture below.
