As part or their science topic this term, Class 5 were learning all about healthy eating and the meaning of a balanced diet. The children brought in the ingredients of their choice to make a healthy sandwich and they were delicious!

On the 5th October class 5 visited Marazion marshes to take part in a workshop given by the R.S.P.B to learn about the migration of birds.
The children had the opportunity to look through binoculars and see many of the different birds that lived in the marshes. The children also played games which helped them find out about the incredibly long journeys that birds such as the swallow and starling make at this time of year.
Did you know that swallows fly up to 200 miles a day? It takes them six long weeks of flying to get back to South Africa to escape our winter. They can feed on the wing but sadly many die of starvation on this epic journey.
“I loved looking through the binoculars. I could see the birds right up close!” – Toby
“I never knew swallow had such a long way to fly. It’s so far that some actually die.” – Oliver
Over the past couple of weeks the Year 6’s have been making digital collages using scanned in artwork and Photoshop. By creating these works of art the children have been learning about the lasso selection tool, the move tool, layer styles, blending modes, hue+saturation adjustments, the filter gallery and the liquify tool. We’re incredibly pleased with how their artworks have come out, below are just a few examples to give you a flavour of their excellent work.
