| Terrific Trip to Colchester Zoo! |
During our Science unit on 'Living Things and their Habitats', we learnt all about different types of animals, their habitats and what they eat. So, what better place to learn even more about animals, than Colchester Zoo! We had a fun-filled day seeing all the animals and learning more about them!
| Super Science Week! |
As part of British Science Week, all classes were challenged to complete a Bingo Board filled with lots of exciting and fun science challenges! Some of our challenges included making a bouncy egg, researching a famous scientist, investigating different types of paper planes and drawing a scientist. We had a great week!

| Awesome Author Visit! |
We were lucky enough to have a visit from local author, Hannah Farthing, and the star of her story, her dog Oliver! After hearing an extract from her book and taking part in a Q&A, we then wrote our own descriptions of Oliver!
| Forest School Fun! |
We've had a great time taking part in Forest School this half-term. From creating nature art and crafting to building dens and going on nature hunts - we've had so much fun!
| Autumn 2 |
| The Big Little Nativity! |
After many weeks of hard work and dedication, we shared our performance of 'The Big Little Nativity' with our parents and carers! We worked so hard learning our lines, practicing the songs and dance moves - we were so excited to show everyone!
| Dazzling Digital Artists! |
In computing, we've been exploring the artistic styles of different artists and used Microsoft Paint to create our own versions. So far, we've created landscapes in the style of Pointillism using the brush/airbrush tool, and Mondrian inspired pictures using the line and fill tools.
| Autumn 1 |
| The Snail! |
In art, we've been learning about the artist Henri Matisse. We looked at several of his colourful collages, but focused on 'The Snail'. We painted some large pieces of paper which we cut, tore and arranged to create our versions of 'The Snail'!
| National Fitness Day! |
As part of 'National Fitness Day', the Year 6 children organised different sporting and fitness activities for the rest of the school to enjoy. We had some fun speeding around obstacle courses and practising our throwing and dribbling skills!
