Year 6 - Snow Leopards and Jaguars

Year 6 children have had a busy week getting ready for our charity fundraising event! The children have been working hard, expanding their knowledge about the heart and the valuable work undertaken by the British Heart Foundation. The event itself was a fantastic experience enjoyed by all who attended. The children were on hand to share their learning, including: ·        -     Non-chronological reports about the heart ·        -     Skipping skills ·        -     Taking the pulse (resting and after exercise) ·        -     The British Heart Foundation ·        -     The science of the circulatory system and blood Our cereal bar tasting station was a huge success – the most popular option was the carrot!

We've had a busy week in Snow Leopards, finishing our non-chronological reports on the heart and wrapping our heads around prime numbers and factors (ask us - we know what they are!).

In the afternoons, we continue to prepare for our British Heart Foundation Charity Event. Don't forget that this is happening, parent! Next Thursday - 19th October - at 2:00pm , we are very excited to invite you all to help us raise a little awareness (and money!) for the British Heart Foundation, a superb charity that we have been learning all about. We have been practicing our skipping - a brilliant form of cardio-vascular exercise that is fantastic for your heart - photos below. We have also been learning all about the important roles that blood plays in our bodies. We hope you come and join us next week to find out all about our learning!
