Year 6 enjoyed an afternoon at the South Shields Museum and Art Gallery to take part in the SCRAN Art Exhibition workshop.

The children took part in an activity which gave them the opportunity to look around the exhibition and answer questions. This linked excellently with out Art unit in school about Propaganda Posters and also introduced them to our upcoming DT unit involving food.

They then went into the learning room where they designed their own poster and slogan based on food.

The children could show off their creativity and their final posters were impressive.

Year 6 enjoyed their second visit to the library this term.

They took part in a Harry Potter quiz then had time to choose their next library book…..some bookworms even chose two books!

As part of our Science topic about the human body, the children have been learning about the circulatory system.

In today’s lesson, the children investigated the affects of exercise on our heart rate.

The children found their pulse and recorded their resting heart-rate. Then they did some vigorous dancing along to some Jump Start Johnny then recorded their heard rates again immediately after exercise and every minute for 5 minutes.

We had a great discussion about why their heart rates increased during exercise.
