Year 6 enjoyed programming the Micro:bits in their Computing lesson this week. We are going to use the skills they learned to create their own toy!

In Science this half term Year 6 are looking at the Solar System. We made a scale model of the Solar System using toilet roll. It surprised us just how far away the gas planets are. We then went outside and looked at how the planets orbit the Sun. It soon became very clear that Neptune takes a lot longer to orbit the Sun than Mercury!

Year 6 had a fantastic visit to The Mix yesterday to take part in Crucial Crew. They spent the afternoon learning about how to keep themselves safe and healthy in different situations.

In Maths, Year 6 have been working on the project 'White Rose Bakery'. They designed their own cupcakes before looking at different shops and working out where would be the cheapest place to buy their ingredients, taking into account special offers. They then had to work out how much they needed to sell their cakes for in order to make a profit. Next, they designed and made their own boxes using their knowledge of nets, before finally making their cakes.

Year 6 have been looking at density in Science. Here are some of their findings: "The orange with the peel floated but the orange without the peel sank. This is because orange peel has tiny air pockets in it." "The scrunched up tinfoil floated because it has air pockets in - you can't remove all of the air. When we scrunched the tin oil up underwater, we removed all of the air so it sank."
