The Y6s have been improving their basketball skills with coach Neil today in PE.

This afternoon in Science, the children in Y6 have been learning about spectrums of light. They used transparent prisms to observe how light is made of a spectrum of colours, then made a colour wheel, which they had to spin to show the differences between it spinning quickly and slowly.

In PE, despite the rain, the Y6s have been working hard on their attack and defence skills in their hockey lesson with coach Neil.

After a warm up on the field, this week’s Y6 netball lesson focused around shooting with accuracy from different distances and angles.

In this week’s Science lesson on our topic of ‘Light’, the children in Y6 learned about ‘refraction’. They made careful observations and explained their findings.

Due to the heavy rain, the Y6s had to take their hockey lesson with Coach Neil indoors this afternoon, but that didn’t stop them from working hard on their control and speed.

As part of their Art topic of North American Art, the children in Y6 have today been studying the abstract work of Hel en Frankethaler, before working together in groups to create their own ideas.

As part of their Science topic of ‘Light’, the Y6s have been learning more about ‘reflection’ this afternoon, including the ‘angle of incidence’ and the ‘angle of reflection’. They worked in small groups to create a periscope to demonstrate how reflection helps us to see things.
