Year Six enjoyed a magical trip to the West Yorkshire Playhouse to see the Leeds Playhouse production of the musical Oliver! this week. We were treated to thrilling dancing, superb singing, drama, comedy and a brilliant story. A real treat.

3T have been learning about shadows in Science. Yesterday, we made shadow puppets and, using a light source (a torch), we investigated how the shadow changed based on how close it was to the light source. We learned, the closer the object is to the light source, the smaller the shadow will be.

This afternoon, Year six expanded our learning of volcanos through song! In our music lesson, we learned about how our diaphragm can be used to push air to make noise. We practised dynamics by controlling the volume of our voices to suit the tone of some catchy volcano themed songs. By the end of  our ensemble singing session we had a brilliant sounding choir. "Cluuuuuuub Volcano!"
