This week we have been hearing about Harvest time. We now know that farmers grow food for us to eat and England is too cold to grow bananas. We picked our own tomatoes for snack time.

We have enjoyed learning outdoors this half term. We went on a listening walk to see what sounds we could hear. 

We have been learning all about street art. Today we finished our collages in the style of Keith Haring. He was a graffiti artist who used bold bright colours and a cartoon style. We love our pictures and they definitely brighten up the corridor!

This week we have been in an adventure to look for clues to help us workout which season it is at the moment. We found lots of exciting things to help us work it out .

These amazing footballers represented school fantastically, playing as a team and showing determination, resilience and ability. After a close game in the final, Scotforth won the tournament and will now represent Lancaster in the district finals in January. Well done girls!!!

We have been looking at place value in maths and how 100 is made up of 10 tens. We had lots of fun showing this by using lots of objects from our classroom!

This week we have been drawing our self portraits. We have used mirrors to help us look at our eye, hair and skin colour. 

Sadly it is Year 6’s final day at Lockerbie, but they’re going out with a bang! Raft building, Stand-up-paddleboarding, fencing and rifle shooting to finish off a fantastic week. 
 

This afternoon, we were using collage materials to try to create flames. 
 

This week we have talked about our bodies. The children are very interested in what is inside their bodies so we read “Funnybones” and tried to feel our bones through our skin.

Today, we were recapping on the oceans of the world and the continents. We had a go at completing a jigsaw of the world and then we labelled it. This proved quite challenging but we persevered. 

Year 6 have had another great day in Scotland! The children have been busy fencing, rifle shooting, climbing, raft building, stand-up-paddleboarding, crate stacking, zip line and wide games. Look out for the famous Lockerbie broccoli too!
