Y6 enjoying their picnic this afternoon, a well earned treat after working so hard last week. @StGregorysNeth

A huge ‘Thank you’ to Mrs Rose today for all her hard work teaching the children how to make and ice cupcakes ready for our picnic this afternoon. Needless to say they went down a treat! 🧁@StGregorysNeth

Well done to our Y5 & 6 boys football team, who played really well today, but just missed out on a place in the final (lost on pens). Despite their disappointment, they dusted themselves off and won the play-off game, finishing in 3rd place. Well done everyone, @StGregorysNeth

Year 6 have been studying ‘Light’ this half term in science. Today we investigated what happens to shadows throughout the day and how they change. @StGregorysNeth

Thank you to those children who dressed up for World Book Day today, can you guess which books they are from? @StGregorysNeth #WorldBookDay2024

The children enjoyed Bishop Tom’s visit today, finding out about how and when he became a priest, how long he had been a priest for and how he became a bishop. They also found out he has a love of art and enjoyed seeing some of the pieces he’d seen in galleries around the world.

Yr 6 produced some super artwork based on Bridget Riley’s ‘Movement in Squares’ @StGregorysNeth

[St Gregory’s Year 6 @StGregorysYear6]

As part of our Art Afternoon we have been celebrating the work of female artists. Y6 focused on the work of Bridget Riley and her optical illusion work. The children used this as a stimulus for their own ‘Op Art’ @StGregorysNeth

[St Gregory’s Year 6 @StGregorysYear6]

Year 6 have carried out an experiment to see which materials are the best at reflecting light. After testing several different materials/objects in the blackout tent, they found that the reflective strip on a high vis jacket was the best reflector of light. @StGregorysNeth

Today Year 6 learned how fold mountains are formed. They experimented with their own ‘tectonic plates’ investigating the different ways the plates moved and what happened when the plates rubbed together. @StGregorysNeth

[St Gregory’s Year 6 @StGregorysYear6]

Year 6 learned about fold mountains today. They used their map reading skills to identify which countries the Alps mountain range crosses. @StGregorysNeth

[St Gregory’s Year 6 @StGregorysYear6]

Year 6 have been learning about evacuees and what they had to take with them on their travels. We tried on a gas mask to see what it felt like having to wear one. @StGregorysNeth

[St Gregory’s Year 6 @StGregorysYear6]

Y6 have been working hard on improving their fitness in PE. They have carried out a number of activities to build up their strength,stamina and agility, and can identify the changes that take place in their bodies, during and after physical activity. @StGregorysNeth

[St Gregory’s Year 6 @StGregorysYear6]

Y6 have been using maps to identify features within the local area. @StGregorysNeth
