Well done to today's mystery pupil.

Consequences...

For the past few weeks class6 have been working hard, as a class, to produce a video based around the theme of 'Bullying' as part of their PSHE work.

They began by developing a script involving a story being told from two different viewpoints - the viewpoint of the bully, and the viewpoint of the victim. Following this they auditioned children to act in their video, as well as children who would provide the VoiceOver 'thoughts' of both characters.

This week the children filmed their ideas, and put them all together using an iPhone, Movie Looks, and iMovie. The end result is amazing - and their way of telling the story from two viewpoints is brilliantly unique. Well done to all of class6 - you should be proud.

Class four explore how microbes are spread.

Today the children carried out an experiment to see how microbes spread from person to person. We split the class into four teams. Team A were the control group and did not wash their hands. Team B, C and D washed their hands in cold water, warm water and warm water with soap. Using hair-gel and glitter the children covered their hands and then washed them as instructed, they then shook each others hands to see how far the microbes travelled.
