How Science Works

For Year 6+, this book explains how many different aspects of Science work for the older reader and adults.

We hope you enjoy these suggestions.

 

Turbine Power

As part of their electricity in science topic, Year 6 looked at alternative ways of generating power. We then designed and made wind turbines and put them them to the test by using them to winch up increasing loads. We came up with a variety of solutions and whilst some span faster they were not as powerful when it came to doing work.

Electrifying Year 6

This term Year 6 are exploring electricity. We’ve started recapping circuits, including identifying what is wrong in some “dodgy circuits”, before starting to use formal symbols for circuit diagrams.

PLAY IN A DAY

What a brilliant day we have all had today! Mark from the Play in a Day company came to Lickey and helped us  perform a play in a day!! By working together collaboratively we successfully put on the show ‘Macbeth’ for our family and friends. Thank you to everyone that came to support and watch us. IMG_2301 IMG_2307 IMG_2322 IMG_2328 IMG_2335 IMG_2340 IMG_2356 IMG_2370 IMG_2398 IMG_2399

Number Sandwiches!

In Year 6, we tackled a tricky ‘Number Sandwiches’ investigation! 

We started on Number Sandwich 3, in which we had to arrange the numbers 1 – 3 in number sandwiches. The numbers had to have an amount of numbers between them that were equal to their value. For example, in between two 1’s there had to be one number and in between two 2’s there had to be two numbers!IMG_4697

We found that the solution for Number Sandwich 3 was 312132.

After much perseverance, we discovered that Number Sandwiches 5 and 6 were impossible!

However, Number Sandwiches 4 and 7 can be done – can you find the solution?

If you can, please bring it in to show Mr Witcomb!

We love PGL!

We had the most amazing week at PGL! Last Friday, we all got together as a year group to share our favourite parts. Here are a few of our highlights!

Clauses

In Literacy year 6 have been writing difference sentences with different types of clauses. Can you spot the different ways you can create subordinating sentences?
