‘Life as a muslim’

Class 6 had a special visit working with us for the morning. Isha is a local Muslim lady. She told us lots of information about what life is like for her in our local community. Class 6 were very sensible and mature in their questions for her. They learnt how to write some words in Arabic – which was very tricky! The children were keen to tell people at home all about the religion and also the difficulties Isha faces around the world.

Food Technology

Over the past few weeks, Class 6 have visited the Food technology department at Staindrop Academy. They have thoroughly enjoyed making oat cookies, cornflake tart and cupcakes – which were all delicious. As well as cooking, they have learnt lots of other skills including weighing, measuring, health and safety in the kitchen and how to eat healthily. They have used the opportunity to ask lots of interesting questions about the ingredients we have used. “I have absolutely loved everything we have cooked,” Jordan.

Hamsterley Forest

On Thursday, Class 6 visited Hamsterley forest as part of our Fantastic Forests topic. We spent the morning with Rio looking at how we could survive if stranded in the Amazon rainforest. This included learning about the animals who live there, the types of trees we would find, how and where to build a shelter and what equipment we would need to survive! In the afternoon, we use our new piece of equipment ( Now>Press> Play) to become immersed in a story about deforestation and how that can impact people’s lives. Their behaviour was excellent and they showed excellent manners to member of the public -we had a great day! Well Done class 6!

Staindrop Academy

On Tuesday Class 6 visited Staindrop Academy. We used a flame test, chromatography, microscopes and chemicals to become CSI investigators. Then we thought about ratio and proportion when making two different kinds of slime. Our last activity was working as a team using paper and masking tape to build the tallest free-standing tower – the winning team made a tower 218cm tall!

Safety Carousel

Class 6 attended the Safety Carousel at The Workplace in Newton Aycliffe. Throughout the day we learnt about hazards in the home, fire safety, road safety, water safety, how to be safe around electricity and how to keep ourselves safe online. There was lots of fun activities and chances to earn points for our teams. We learnt lots of new information that we are going to pass on to our families and friends.

Circulatory System

Class 6 have been learning about the circulatory system in Science, we have looked at how the heart and lungs work, made a board game to test our knowledge and thought about how to keep our hearts and lungs healthy. To end our topic we designed an investigation to see how exercise affects our heart rate and breathing rate. We had great fun completing exercise for 2 minutes and then measuring our heart rate. Next we are going to analyse our results and compare our findings.

Yoga

As part of Anti-Bullying Week, Class 6 received a Yoga session. The session was all about respecting ourselves and others. We learnt various different yoga positions including the mountain pose, downward dog, sunset salutation and the double downward dog. Class 6 found it really relaxing and calming.
