We are Scientists!
Year 6 were superb scientists this week. Exploring states of matter with water (using transfiguration transformations) resulted in cold hands and chocolatey mouths. Oh, and we learnt lots of new vocabulary too like sublimation!

Accelerated Reader League
Well done to Crew Blackham for winning the league again this week. A shoutout goes to Crew Graves for reaching third place for the first time and to Crew Chapman for maintaining second place.
Our celebration video from last term’s Expedition!
We are so proud of you 5/6 for not only producing awesome work last term during challenging times when some of you were working from home and adapting to online lessons but also for the amazing fundraising you all contributed to for Markham Main mining memorial. You are all amazing and I hope you enjoy this video capturing a truly awesome Expedition!

Amazing artwork!
The creativity has continued to flow today as we have experimented with watercolours to create some fabulous Harry Potter artwork.
Well done everyone. You have all worked so hard today!

Imaginative immersion – Day 1
I’m not sure who was more excited about our first day back: me or the children! The buzz of creativity began the second that we launched our new expedition and continued all day. It was amazing to see pupils group themselves together and work collaboratively on their own mini-projects to put towards the overall ‘Team 5/6’ effort.
What will day 2 have in store?

We are taking a trip to Hogwarts…
Just a reminder that this Friday is our Harry Potter dress up day. We will be swapping our maths and literacy lessons and instead, we will be participating in lessons only wizards and witches engage in- defence against the dark arts, quidditch, potions, behind the magic and transfiguration. The children will each have the opportunity to be sorted into a house by the sorting hat before the day at Hogwarts begins. This is going to be such an exciting day and we can’t wait to capture all of the exciting things we get up to and we will of course share them on our blogs!
I wonder what our guiding question is going to be?
