Testing our boats

This afternoon, the children tested their boats to see if they would float and if they could hold any weight.

All the boats floated very well but Archie’s held the weights for the longest amount of time before letting water on board. After talking about our designs the children agreed that next time they would make the hull of their boats deeper so that when weight was added they didn’t sink. The boats were more like rafts.
The children were keen to make another one!

Reflection Time and Prayer of the Day

Good morning Brown Clee!

I’d like to carry on with our theme of Respect, Diversity and Kindness with a funny cartoon fo you to watch. As you watch it think about what words you would use to describe the small birds and the big bird. Also, see if you can pick a message from the story….there are lots of different ones…

Can you describe the small birds’ behaviour? What about big bird?

What messages did you pick up from the film? It made me think about how important it is to be kind and friendly to everyone, even if they are different, and that we should never make fun of people just because they look different. I also think that there is a message about ourselves…imagine being big bird. The smaller birds laughed and made fun of him because he was taller, and had lots of feathers sticking up in different directions. But he didn’t get cross or upset, he just wanted to be friends. So I think it is teaching us that being different does not matter and we should all be like big bird and be happy and proud of who we are….

Today is a special day for Ollie – HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLLIE!

Also, we missed Isabel’s birthday on the 12th – we do apologise! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISABEL!!

Prayer of the Day

Dear God,
Thank you that you made us all differently.
Thank you that you love every one of us.
Help us to show care for all people.
Help us to learn to appreciate differences.
Help us to be inclusive and always to make others feel welcome.
Amen.

Geography – Locate the Countries

Year 6 have been looking at locating the countries of the world in geography. This included locating the “top” 12 countries in Europe, the “top” 12 countries in North America, all 12 countries in South America, the “top” 12 countries in Asia, the “top” 15 countries in Africa and all the 17 countries in Oceania. After completing all of these, they were challenged to locate the “top” 50 countries on a world map.

Check out this video of Chloe – who was the first to locate all of the given 50 countries correctly on the world map.

(2m was still observed in the filming of this by the use of a, slightly awkward but extra-long, iPad stand).

Next up, the capital cities across the world!

Boat Making

The ‘Mice’ bubble have been making their boats this afternoon. They selected the materials they thought would be best for a boat and then drew their design, before making their boats. When completed, they will test their boats in water to see if they float, to check how stable they are and if to see if they can hold any weight. They will then think about what they could do to improve their design and what they would do differently if they made another boat.

Reflection Time and Prayer of the Day

Good Morning Brown Clee!

We have been thinking a lot about Respect, and how important it is to treat everybody equally – no matter what the differences, and that being kind is often the easiest way to show respect.

Kindness is very powerful – because often by simply doing something kind to someone else, it can have the magical affect of making you feel better about yourself too! Watch this short video and see what it makes you think about…

Can you create a spark of kindness today? If you do, have a think about how it makes you feel?

It is amazing how often, one little act of kindness can really make a difference – YOU can make a difference!

Prayer of the Day

Dear God,
You have made us all different
And given us to each other for friendship and support,
To share with and enjoy each other’s company.
May we always value each other
And always look for opportunities to improve the lives of those around us.
Amen.

Reflection Time and Prayer of the Day

Good Morning Brown Clee!

I hope you have all had a good weekend!

Last week we thought about Respect and Diversity – and how we are all different but all the same – we are all human. We enjoyed the story called “Mixed” where we learnt about how the world is a brighter and better place because of the rich, variety of colours.

One of the differences humans have, is that we all have different coloured skin, and that difference can sometimes be the source of a particular type of bullying, called racism. This has been in the news a lot recently, as people over the world are protesting to ensure that “Black Lives Matter” – as historically people with black skin have not always been treated equally.

These are a couple of videos from CBeebies and Blue Peter, and I think they make for interesting listening…

“Be Kind” is such a simple but such an important message – can you imagine what sort of world this would be if everyone was kind to each other??

So today, why don’t you do at least one kind thing for someone else, or say one kind thing to someone else. Let’s start small but aim big to try and make our future world a better place for everyone.

Prayer of the Day

Dear God,
Help me to know that we are wonderful in all our differences.
Help me to say kind words to others.
Help me to think about other people and to remember that my words make a big difference to them.
Please help me to help those who are sad.
Thank you that your words to me are always kind.
Amen.

Science

After watching this video from the BBC (https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/science-ks2–ks3-food-chains-and-food-webs-in-animals/zn7g92p), your task is to draw your own food web which links together different organisms in an ecosystem. Remember, an ecosystem is a community of different organisms. It could be a rainforest, a wood, a coral reef, a savanna or any other place that several animals live in – you can choose which ecosystem you want to use.
