Heart Dissection
Circle Time- This week we discussed different careers and rated jobs in order of salaries that we felt the employees deserved. We discussed levels of training and responsibility. We had an interesting debate about the money that footballers earn. One member of our class put forward a great argument about the money from tourism that football can bring into a country and therefore how it can support a community. What do you think?
Year 6 – GPS Revision
We have been learning different revision techniques to help us to recall grammar, punctuation and spelling facts!
Circle Time
What’s the risk? This week we discussed risks even further. When deciding on whether to take a risk, we decided that it is important to think about the outcome and to weigh up the positives and negatives. Sometimes, we are easily led by othere around us but it is important to think for yourself when making decisions. Here we are rating risks on a scale from 1-10.

Insulators and Conductors
In 6EA, we drew a range of circuits and tested to see if they worked. Some of our circuits had insulators which broke the flow of electricity and stopped the bulbs, buzzers and motors from working. Some circuits had conductors, which enabled the electricity to flow.
Can you name 3 conductors of electricity and three insulators?
Circle Time
In our circle this week, we discussed methods for saving money and which method we thought would be the best. We played a game where we had a list of items to sell at a school fair and we had to price them according to their value. We discussed factors such as condition, age and popularity.
Electricity
In 6EA today we have been learning about parallel and series circuits. From our pictures, can you notice who has made parallel and who has made series?
Circle Time
In circle time this week we looked at Dan’s bad day and discussed how Dan’s reactions could have made his day better and changed the outcomes of the day. We then acted out Dan’s good day and created freeze frames.
Science – how does light travel?
Why is it that using two mirrors, we can see behind our backs?
We used mirrors and torches to look at how light travels. We shone our torch onto the mirrors and reflected light to create a path.
