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! 😊 @BalshawLaneCPS

We started our multiplication unit this morning in Maths! @BalshawLaneCPS

[Mrs Singleton @Mrs_Singleton2]

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! 🤫😊 #DT #skills @halliwell_miss @BalshawLaneCPS

Science: check out our fossils - the children have created their own fossils and have been learning how they are made. 👌👌! @BalshawLaneCPS

[Mrs Gibirdi @Miss_Buchanan2]

Great work in maths creating multiplication and division fact families

[Miss Halliwell-Parker @halliwell_miss]

We tested the strength of different 3D shapes in DT yesterday. Look at our super structure! @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 🌿🍄#outdoorlearning @BalshawLaneCPS

We have been really busy with our twisted tales unit! @BalshawLaneCPS

[Mrs Singleton @Mrs_Singleton2]

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! 😀 @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 😃#computing #coding @BalshawLaneCPS

Welcome back to a new half term. I hope you had a lovely break😊 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

[Mrs Singleton @Mrs_Singleton2]

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

[Mrs Hamilton @r_mrs55648]

The school council hard at work creating posters for our wet play campaign. @BalshawLaneCPS

[Mrs Gibirdi @Miss_Buchanan2]

Handwriting coming along nicely! Two more pen passes today! Well done you two!

[Mrs Gibirdi @Miss_Buchanan2]

Wow! We are getting so good at rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000! Have a try at home!

[Mr Browne @MrBrowne12]

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. 👌👌 @BalshawLaneCPS
