Olympic Science , by Miss Waldron
Date: 27th Jun 2016 @ 8:11pm
This week in school we have been learning about the Olympics , we linked this with our science learning. We were sent an email by the 'British Olympics Association ' who had decided they were only sending the athletes with the longest legs to the Olympics. They thought that 'people with long legs jump further than people with short legs'. We set about to prove them wrong and planned an investigation to do this. We measured the length of children's legs and then carried out a fair test to measure how far they could jump. We then analysed our results and we discovered that people with longer legs don't necessarily jump the furthest!

Year 6 and the Chocolate Factory, by Miss Percival

Year 6 and The Chocolate Factory!
In Year 6 we have been writing Willy Wonka style recipes to create amazing Chocolate bars. We planned what ingredients we wanted to use and thought about the method we would use to make them. After writing up our fantastic recipes we then made our Wonka bars by melting chocolate into moulds and adding in all our chopped treats. We included lots of ingredients- especially popping candy! While the chocolate was setting in the fridges, we designed our Wonka bar wrappers with lots of bold colours and designs. Please take a look at some pictures of us with our final chocolate bars!

Einstein's Birthday!!!, by Miss Percival
Date: 16th Mar 2016 @ 9:07pm
For Albert Einstein's 137th birthday, Year 6 celebrated with two fun experiments. For the first one, we mixed bicarbonate of soda with vinegar to inflate balloons. We later found that the more bicarbonate soda added to the vinegar the larger the balloon expanded. This is due to the baking soda being a base and the vinegar being an acid and therefore when mixed CO2 (carbon dioxide) is released, creating a fully inflated balloon. After this experiment we carried out a popcorn blind taste-test where we tasted four different brands of popcorn: Tescos, Walkers, Aldi and Uncle Sams. The majority of Year 6 voted for Tesco's popcorn- we recommend you try some- although Aldi came in a close second! To end the exciting events we sang happy birthday and ate yummy cakes in honour of the great, German, theoretical physicist. Take a look at some of our pictures!
