Our year 6 children worked so hard in their SATs and after the final maths paper in Friday they received a very special delivery. They all look fabulous in them (I just hope they take them off when it's hot!).

In history our topic is 'What have the Anceint Greeks Done For Us?' This week we learnt about democracy and the children role played. There was some very dramatic acting around who was guilty of murder!

This term in geography we are learning all about trade and ecomony in the UK. This week we looked at agriculture, one very eye-opening aspect was 'mega farms' These massive farms are set up to meet the needs of fast food outlets and supermarkets. Ask your child how much space 15 chickens are given in mega farms, versus free range. We went onto the playground to chalk up the dimensions.

We had a super day at our local museum, learning all about the journey of wool from sheep to cloth. We also looked at maps from the 1800 and 1900s and present day to see what areas had been developed, as well as being a human loom!.

Aventurine and Emerald Amazing trip to the Mills of Stroud.
Last week we went on a trip to Dunkirk,Gigg and Ruskin Mills.At Gigg Mill we learnt how to weave and how to spin wool using a spinning wheel. We loved seeing all the interesting machines. We even got to try them ourselves. The two men, Robin and Peter, were lovely and really helped us to understand how to weave. We also went to Ruskin Mill where we saw a watermill and learnt about hydro- electricity. At Dunkirk mill we learnt about the work of a child in the mill. We were amazed to see the waterwheels working and the noise that they made. Did you know that the cloth from the mills is used for soldiers and for covering billiard tables? We all had a really fantastic day.It really was the best trip ever!
