Year 6 have been putting their faith into action this Lent term, but raising money for our Lenten Fundraiser.
They have donated money for special treats like doughnuts, popcorn and hot chocolate! Year 6 have also been working incredibly hard to complete their Walk for Lent fundraiser, and have surpassed their target. They are currently on lap 78 and they hope to get a few more in, before the end of term.
Our Super Science Ambassadors kick started this year’s British Science Week by leading a whole school assembly. We began with learning a little about our Science saint – At. Albert the Great, and read a prayer that previous ambassadors wrote. They shared the theme, which is ‘Adapt and Change’ and links to our own lives that we can make with science. They launched the Poster competition and all week have been running ‘The Gadget Shop’ which will continue this week, or until all stock is sold! Prices range from 50p to £2. Itemised lists with prices are posted around the school.

In DT this term, Year 6 have been learning about Complex Circuits and applying our Science knowledge of electricity. We created an alarm system, which lights up a warning light and sounds a buzzer, when an avalanche hits the microswitch. We planned, designed and built a circuit using a buzzer, bulb and microswitch and designed a mountain for the avalanche to fall from. Take a look at our final creations!
Year 6 had an amazing time at The Briars! Their mission during their stay was to become ‘Agents of Love’ and complete tasks to earn this status. They learned how to be independent, responsible and how to work as a team. Year 6 prepared liturgies, lead a Mass and went on a VERY muddy walk. Take a look at their pictures below…
