Year 6 Science- Electricity
Before the half term holiday, year 6 built their own set of traffic lights. They needed to make sure that only one light lit up at a time. This meant creating a three-way switch out of a pin and a paper clip to light each LED individually.
Year 6 Art
Last half term, year 6 carried out an art unit all about making their voice heard. The unit concluded with the children completing a piece of abstract art inspired by Picasso’s ‘Guernica’. The children used WW2 as their focus for the artwork as they will be looking more closely at Darwen’s role in the war later in the year. Next Friday is Remembrance Day, and year 6 will be explaining the symbolism involved in their piece.
Year 6 Science
Year 6 have been delving deeper into their knowledge of insulators and conductors. In order to do this, they created their own loop game. If the loop touched the wire, they heard a buzz because they had a closed circuit. The handle of the loop was made of an insulating material. This was to ensure that anyone playing the game was safe.
Rotakids- Year 5
Year 5 has shown respect, trust, and service and demonstrated our British Values (democracy) by voting for the students they think are best suited for the position of President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. The votes were counted and verified by Mrs. Lyons and the Rotary Club. We now have Isaac as (President), Archie (Vice President), Charlie (Secretary), and Lola (Treasurer). Over the course of the academic year, the RotaKids will engage in important, lively activities that will make a positive difference to our school, local community, and globally.
