Year 6 - PrimeVR Workshop
What an experience Year 6 had today! We were visited by PrimeVR and the Year 6 class had the exciting opportunity to experience virtual reality linked to our topic of ocean exploration. Through immersive VR technology, the children were able to dive beneath the waves and explore the wonders of the ocean from the classroom. The children came face-to-face with a variety of underwater predators, observed endangered marine species in their natural habitats and gained a deeper understanding of the challenges facing our oceans today. The experience brought their learning to life, allowing them to explore environments and creatures that would otherwise be impossible to visit. The children were thoroughly engaged throughout the session, asking thoughtful questions and demonstrating great curiosity about marine life and conservation. It was a memorable and inspiring experience that enhanced their understanding and sparked excitement for further learning.
Athletics Club
Our first athletics club was a huge success as the children prepare for our DPSSA Witton Athletics event next week. We worked on various events such as relay hand overs, sprints, long distance, cricket ball throw and standing long jump. It was great to see the enthusiasm and support for each other.

Year 6 - Kooth Transition Session
Today, Year 6 took part in a transition to high school webinar delivered by Kooth. The session focused on mental health and wellbeing during the move to secondary school. Children explored the range of emotions they may experience during this transition and discussed common challenges they may face, including making new friends, adapting to a new environment, managing increased independence and coping with changes in routines and expectations. The webinar also provided practical strategies for building resilience, seeking support when needed, and maintaining positive mental wellbeing throughout the transition process.

Year 4 and 6 Rounders

Year 6 - Darwen Literature Festival
Today, the children visited Darwen Library as part of the Darwen Literature Festival. During their visit, they had the exciting opportunity to meet author Ben Davis, who shared some of his stories and spoke about his experiences as a writer. The children thoroughly enjoyed listening to his engaging tales, learning about the creative writing process and asking thoughtful questions. It was a fantastic experience that inspired a love of reading and storytelling among the children.
Year 6 - Rounders
Year 6 enjoyed an exciting rounders session today, where they demonstrated excellent teamwork, determination and sportsmanship. The children worked hard to develop their batting, bowling and fielding skills, applying what they have learned during lessons. There was plenty of enthusiasm and encouragement throughout the games, with everyone showing a positive attitude and supporting their teammates.
Year 6 Junior Jam - Music
Year 6's new music unit is all about electric drums. Today, the children learned that drums are one of the most important aspects of music, as they help to keep all of the other instruments in time with each other. They learned that drum kits are made up of lots of different types of drums, for example: kick, snare and hi-hat drums. The children then had a go at playing a set of electric drums with a partner.
