September 2024 – Condover Hall Residential Visit
On Monday, we travelled to Condover Hall for our Year 6 residential. This week was jam-packed with some amazing activities, including: abseiling, rock climbing, raft building, aerial trek, archery and many more. We all had such an incredible time being outdoors and learning new skills. We challenged ourselves to reach or exceed our targets
October 2024 – Cooking in the Hob
For our DT unit of learning, we were answering the question: can food be both seasonal and culturally diverse? We used a seasonal vegetable, butternut squash, and made five different variations of butternut squash stew, all with different culturally diverse ingredients. Likewise, we made bread to go alongside out stew and all five breads were from a different culture. Mexican, English, Italian, Indian and Greek were the five cultures we based our foods around and we made some incredible dishes, which we all tried – and loved!
December 2024 – We Won Enterprise – again!
After two long and hard weeks, we did it – we won! Our company, ‘The Christmas Crumble’, worked tirelessly to produce over 300 cookies, which were both used as orders and sold at the Christmas Fair. Cookie production in the Hob was a phenomenal experience and we learnt lots from our last enterprise experience.
December 2024 – Christmas cards
As part of our Learning for Life project, which has been focussing on supporting the local community, we all created different Christmas cards that would be given to members of the Braunstone community. On this day, a selection of children walked down to the Warm Space Social at the Braunstone Civic Centre to deliver these cards to the elderly community. We sat and had juice with the members of the public and sang some Christmas carols. Those who attended were very grateful for their cards.
January 2025 – Tom the Story Teller
We were fortunate to have Tom the Story Teller come and join us for the morning. During his previous visit, he had asked the children to find old folktales from their families and their culture and this session was about the children sharing these stories with him and then the class. It was a wonderful session full of great stories and lots of learning about different cultures.
March 2025 – Science week experiment
For science week, we answered the question: which sugar dissolves the fastest? We looked at: granulated sugar, sugar cubes and icing sugar. During their experiment, all of the children found out that icing sugar dissolved the quickest due to it large surface area. We then drew a scatter graph to represent our results.
