Role-Play Sparked creativity

Crew McLoughlin has had a fun and creative learning experience today in order to redraft a plot point of their diary.We took part in an imaginative role-play activity, where we pretended to be a Tudor getting ready to attended a special banquet. We imagined waking up, getting dress and walking into the hall. This is to help us write a diary about our day- what we saw, felt and did.

Reading buddies

Our confident Year 6 readers teamed up with our curious Year 1s to enjoy stories side by side. The room was full of quiet voices, big smiles and lots of turning pages. The best part? We’re not just building better readers—we’re building social skills, confidence and a real love for books. Stay tuned for more stories from our Reading Buddies because when we read together, we really do put the fun into reading!

Electricity

In year 6 we have been constructing and representing simple circuits in a diagram using recognised symbols. We have been fully engaged in experimenting with our physics learning, so much so we have even stayed in at breaks to construct circuits with different components. It has been great to watch us as scientists researching how cells affect the brightness of bulbs and the sound of buzzers.

One Last Adventure, a Lifetime of Memories

Our Year 6s had the best time ever at PGL! From high ropes and to zip lines, canoeing, and non-stop laughs, it was a week full of adventure, character growth and memories we’ll never forget. The video shows all the fun, team spirit and brave moments as everyone challenged themselves and had loads of fun with friends. A perfect way to round off our time in primary school – check it out!

Day 2 PGL

After a belly full of breakfast, we were ready to roll with our activities: Jacob’s Ladder, Canoeing, fencing and problem solving. Here’s some lovely pictures to show all the fun we are having

Cookie and Pizza Making!

The Year 6 children who remained in school with Mr Wilkinson have been busy practising their mathematics skills to figure out accurate measurements to create their cookies and pizzas. They worked collaboratively by checking measurements, whisking, mixing, kneading, rolling and checking over the method. Everyone ended up with their own pizza and a handful of cookies for the afternoon! A skill many of them haven’t had an abundance of experience with but it is safe to say they all enjoyed baking these!
