The 6.2 Minion Challenge
Updated weekly
In Year 6.2, we like to encourage reading
Each week, the children will have the opportunity to be in the reading draw.
They need to be using their homework diary effectively, recording all reading at school and at home, writing down their homework tasks and important messages and also have their diary checked and signed by an adult.
Keep an eye on the lucky winners and the even luckier Minions that get to go home and take part in the weekend reading.
Blood models in Science
Year 6 have been learning about the circulatory system. Today, we learnt about the different functions of blood and what it consists of. This includes red blood cells (cheerios and red food colouring), white blood cells (marshmallows) and platelets (pom poms) as well as plasma and other vital nutrients for our bodies to survive.
A very exciting lesson with some fantastic questions.

Year 6.2's opinions about Global Explorer Week and the Mini Marines
Global Explorers Week
For our Global Explorers themed week, we have been studying the perilous journey of Ernest Shackleton and how he attempted to be the first to cross Antarctica in 1914.
We listened to his opinion through our conscience alley and decided if we would join the team on it's journey. By the end of the week, we will be writing letters to Ernest himself as to why he should allow us to become a key member of his team and join him on Endurance.
During our STEM activities, we have looked at the different equipment, food and clothing that we would need and have an informed decision as to how we would keep ourselves safe should we visit the Halley VI research station on Antarctica. This had led to budget setting and lots of discussion and team work.
Maths, Maths and more Maths.
