Alumwell
Junior School
Today we had a show and workshop with Lucas Jett. We practised plate spinning, juggling and flower sticks.
It was great to see everyone participating and trying their hands at some new skills, you can see how hard everyone was concentrating!
His YouTube channel is available for anyone that wants to practise their circus skills!
We made and tested parachutes using different materials to see which took the longest to fall.
Forces
We explored different forces. We found out about the difference between weight and mass and used the Newton meters to weigh objects.
Science
We have explored changing states in science. We have looked at reversible and irreversible changes such as evaporation, oxidation and combustion. We have explored the most successful ways to separate mixtures.
We took part in a drum workshop with the drummer from Status Quo, Jeff Rich.
Remembrance
In honour of Remembrance Day, Year 6 took part in a workshop with Tom Palmer, who's stories all have war themes. We then wrote poems.
The Giant's Necklace
We read the Giant's Necklace by Michael Morpurgo. We wrote postcards from Cherry and then painted seascapes of the Zennor coastline.
Beaudesert
We had a lovely day at Beaudesert, we took part in team building tasks, we put up tents (and put them away again!) and explored the site.
