Bikeability - Day 1

And we're off!! After a bike and helmet check and a quick safety talk, Year 6 were ready to get started on passing Level 1 of their Bikeability training.

Clay!

As part of our work in RE we read a story about King Nebuchadnezzar building a huge golden statue that he expected everyone to bow down to. We thought about the importance of his statue and reflected on this by modelling our own statues using clay.

Mini beast hunt

Today we used a range of equipment to search for mini beasts and looked at a classification key to name what we found.  Look away now if you don't like creepy crawlies!!

Trip to Ruthin Gaol

Last week we visited Ruthin Gaol. We learnt so many new facts and found out about how the prisoners were treated. After being put in the dark cell, turning the crank and hearing about a hanging that took place, we were relieved that we are all law abiding!

Collage

As part of our topic this term we have looked at a range of collages. Our first attempt are these colour wheel collages. We used a variety of materials such as newspapers and tissue papers and investigated different ways to rip and tear.

Anglo Saxon punishments

Today we learnt all about the compensation system Anglo-Saxons introduced. A wergild (man price) was paid to a victim if they were hurt. We thought about if this was a fair system and had a go at seeing how much we would have been given for our injuries!
