There has been an update to TT Rockstars with some fun new features! Please ensure your child has newest version of the app downloaded. They may need to log out and log back in for the update to take effect #Maths@BalshawLaneCPS
6S have made a great start back to school for 2025! We have talked about things we are looking forward to this year. Some answers were SATs (yes, really!), Patterdale, and the Y6 production! π @BalshawLaneCPS
6S have worked like industrious elves in DT over the past couple of days: measuring, marking, cutting, sewing and decorating! Some family members may be treated to a surprise special gift this Christmas! π€«π #DT#skills@halliwell_miss@BalshawLaneCPS
6S have been looking at the features of formal writing. After our work linked to 'Hidden Figures', the children typed up letters to send to King Charles about including Katherine Johnson on the Honours list #connectedcurriculum@BalshawLaneCPS
#Science learning about classification - today, we were classifying plants. Can your child tell you what vascular and non-vascular mean & give examples? We enjoyed being botanists hunting for fungi and identifying trees from their twigs πΏπ#outdoorlearning@BalshawLaneCPS
Please can 6S bring a bag with a spare pair of shoes (older trainers or wellies) for an outdoor Science activity we are doing tomorrow.
Thank you! π @BalshawLaneCPS
Year 6 have begun work on writing code to create an animated story in Scratch. They really enjoyed the session today and showed resilience to debug and refine their coding when it wasn't working as they wanted it to π#computing#coding@BalshawLaneCPS
Welcome back to a new half term. I hope you had a lovely breakπ 6S were excited to be back and starting work on a new Computing unit - they will be using Scratch to code a digital story. A lot of children are excited for the disco tomorrow too! @BalshawLaneCPS @BalshawLanePTFA
Before half term, we created sample pieces to explore different media for our final Art piece inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat. We experimented with silk painting, batik, embroidery and applique. We can't wait to share our final outcome with you all! @BalshawLaneCPS#art
3B have created their final art piece in the style of William Kendridge. Creating cave paintings using the medium of charcoal and natural colours. They used flowers, berries, twigs and acorns to add colour. Amazing work from everyone. ππ @BalshawLaneCPS
