Brand New Chicken News!

Key Stage 1: the chicks are back in school in the Nursery. They've grown so much and continue to do so every day!

We look forward to relocating them to their new enclosure on the Key Stage One field in the near future; look out for them soon.

Key Stage 2: we have 6 new hens, which have already begun to lay. Get your raffle tickets on the Key Stage Two playground every morning to be in with a chance of winning a superb box of fresh, Rise Park eggs.

Our new band of chicken carers are doing a fantastic job. Well done and thank you for your commitment and enthusiasm :)

Shelters

On Friday 11th September, Year 6 took to the field to work in teams to construct their own shelter, linking in with our class book, "Children Of Winter". Battling against the elements, each group used wooden canes, old sheets, string and tape to put together shelters that could house their team.

Success was varied! However, we had a great time and the children worked brilliantly together: well done Year 6!

Welcome to Year 6!

Welcome to the Year 6 blog for the 2015-16 cohort. On this page you will find forthcoming events, activities we have completed in / out of school and plenty of other useful bits of info.

Maybe something about the chickens too...

Anyway, have fun checking in and feel free to leave us your comments.

Colombian Link

We had such an amazing week when our Colombian friends visited Rise Park. Since then, inspired by our linking schools project, both the Rise Parkers and Colombian children and staff have been really busy doing lots of follow up activities. Check out the following link to see what we have been up to!

Edmodo in ICT...

Following on from our Dragon's Den finale last half term, our new ICT topic focuses on our growing role as project managers, while developing our mobile app.

We are discovering how virtual learning environments can support our learning journeys in school, allowing pupils to collaboratively work both in class and at how within a safe online environment. For our VLE, we have chosen to use Edmodo, which is a free educational resource to use in schools.

We look forward to seeing each company plan within their virtual learning environments!

The Year 6 Team.
