PGL - Beam House - Day 1

We have had a great first day and the weather is amazing!  We arrived at 12.15pm and sat and enjoyed our packed lunch.  We then split into our 3 groups and did Blokarting (on Bideford beach), High Ropes and Rifle Shooting.  After the activities we found our room and then off for our evening meal.  The children then had some time in the shop followed by evening Sports Games.  Fingers crossed that after a full-on day we ALL get a good nights sleep!

See 3 photos below - Journey on the coach, Rifle Shooting and High Ropes.

What will we be learning this term?

Real scientists came into school to teach us about DNA! They told us about their careers and taught us that DNA is in all living things. We took our own DNA to support a "police officer" who was investigating who might have broken Miss K's mug. Police use the DNA of suspects to match DNA found at a crime scene. We also made models of a double helix.

NSPCC Number Day! Years 5 and 6 worked together in teams on a number of challenges and games. Here we are measuring each other to find average heights, armspan, foot length etc of children in our classes. We also designed our own board games and played games such as 'Who wants to be a mathionnaire?' and Blockbusters!

We've been holding debates and writing discussion texts to answer the questions, "Should zoos be banned?" and "Should children who break the law go to prison?" We prepared speeches and aimed to pursuade the opposition to agree with us using formal language and statistics to back up our views.

Today Year 6 was so lucky to be able to get up close to a WW2 jeep and motorbike and to try on original helmets. They asked some fantastic questions and were really interested to hear about where the jeep originated from and where it saw action. Thank you so much to Mr and Mrs Davey for bringing them in and for answering all our questions!

Lots of children have been discussing our topic with their family members and bringing lots of World War 2 objects into school to share. We've seen an army kit bag, an axe used by a fireman to save people during the Blitz, war medals, family photographs and so much more!

Science is fun!

 

Today we used our new Virtuali Tee t shirt and our I pads to look inside our bodies. We looked at our respiratory, skeletal, circulatory, digestive and urinary systems. We took it in turns to look inside using virtual reality. We even were able to go inside our alveoli!
