During Health Week, Year 6 invited parents to join them in a workshop checking and measuring pulse rates before exercise, after exercise and then again resting. We came into the classroom and compared results using a line graph. We also asked questions from our data.
This week in science we have looked at classification keys. We studied Carl Linnaeus ,who was a Swedish scientist, who discovered a way to classify and name all life on Earth
We studied how he did this and put our new knowledge to the test and skilfully sorted all types of pasta into groups, looking at similarities and differences.
St Clement’s Sports Day at the Community Sports HUB
All children in year 1 – 6 took part in activities such as football, rounders, dodge ball, netball, archery and an inflatable obstacle course. As well as being treated to ice cream and a gymnastics show from our very own gymnast super star. A great day had by all children, staff and parents. 
In design and technology this week, we were looking at making Dia de Muertos as part of our ‘Hola Mexico’ topic. We had to draw our designs onto felt and cut out two identical felt skulls. We then had to join both sides together with blanket-stitch or over-stitch. Then it was stuffed with kapok.
The skulls were decorated with sequins to replicate the Dia de Muertos
On Monday we went to Woodlands activity centre in Streetly. It was an action packed day full of adventure and thrills. The children were full of energy and raring to go. Activities included zip wire, canoeing, assault course and archery. The weather was kind and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it was nice to see their confidence grow.
