How is the EU relevant to you?

We are really enjoyed learning about the EU, especially how it helps us. The EU makes laws to make sure that each country provides clean, safe water for its citizens. In class, we did a Water Filtration experiement. We made a filter bed using sand, gravel and stone and filtered muddy water to make it clean.

The EU also debates important issues in the European Parliament. We had our own debate on 'Age restrictions on books'. There were four people For and four people Against the motion. The Against team won.

Top of the mornin' to ya!

P6 had a great green St. Patrick's Day. First, when we came into the classroom, we listened to Irish music. Then, we made our own four-leaf clovers. Afterwards, we learned about St. Patrick himself. Did you know that St. Patrick got rid of all the snakes in Ireland? Of course, this is just a myth. Lastly, we had a quiz about what we learned. We all really enjoyed St. Patrick's Day and look forward to having it next year.

Science - Bouyancy Experiements

Last week we learned about buoyancy and had to make a shape out of playdough and use a pebble to float together. For homework, we also made a boat that could carry cargo and tested them with Miss Finn. We also learned about a man called Archimedes who went into a bath, which overflowed and ran down the road shouting 'Eureka'.

Book Week - Reading has never been so much fun!

Books are amazing. We have a Book Week every year. This year, we decorated our door with a very arty design and gave our own twist to the sensational book cover to War Horse.War Horse is an amazing book, full of excitement and sorrow.

As a treat, we dressed up as our favourite book characters for our Book Character Assembly. Each class paraded around the hall to show off their creative designs and can't wait til next year!

Each class won a fantastic prize for our creative efforts. We not have a whopping £20 to spend on books for our class. Hooray!

P6 and P2 join forces for P.E.

For 3 weeks of P.E., we have joined forces with P2 to organise our own special Commonwealth Games. We were split into even groups and the two classes really bonded well. First, all of the six team came up with names which were:

1. The Golden Winners
2. The Black Belt Champions
3. The Blue Bunnies
4. The Football Cookies
5. The Wild West Football Club
6. The Super Champions

Also, we came u with a team dance to the song 'Happy' by Pharrel Williams. Finally, the day of the Games arrived. Everybody was really excited. In the end, everybody was a winner. It was a great experience to share with P2.
