After a snowy start to 2010, Year 6 are settling in well to the new term. The children will be working very hard in Literacy and Numeracy lessons in particular as we move towards SATs in May. In Science, the topic is 'How we see things' and will hopefully involve a visit to the 'Lifelab' at the Centre for Life. The class will visit Gateshead CLC soon to gain some skills in computer aided design and manufacture. This will tie in with design and technology lessons in which the theme is 'Shelters'. In ICT, the children are learning how to include action buttons in 'Powerpoint' slideshows, and will move on to using spreadsheets to present and calculate data. The class are continuing to study the Aztecs in History, and Sikhism in RE lessons, with Mrs Wallis.
