As part of our home learning, we watched a short video and used it to inspire some writing. We're all desperate to know what happened next! Watch the video here then look at a selection of our writing:
Duck Drawings!
British Science Week
British Science Week
February 7th 2020
Today, eight Year 6 children went to the Women's Hospital to put their artwork about what they want to be when they grow up in a time capsule. The time capsule is to be buried under the entrance to the new Neo natal unit which is due to open later this year. The children are working with artist Nicola Lowe to create artwork which will be placed at the entrance of the new unit . This will be part of a permanent display. The children had a great morning and enjoyed juice and cookies provided by the staff! They're looking forward to their next visit when they will also get a tour of the new neonatal unit .
Happy
In art, year 6 have been studying Gustav Klimt. We have painted in the style of Gustav and used symbolism. We have been experimenting with texture and patterns.
For Design and Technology, year 6 had to design a scarecrow. We all talked about the purpose and safety issues involved in the design of our scarecrows so they would be successful and safe outside.
Life in the 1940s
Air Raid!
We were lucky to, once again, welcome James Riley to Year 6. His anti-gang message was well-received by the children, who learned a lot about how to keep themselves safe as they get older.
Our future Chief Constable of Merseyside - the lucky recipient of a JD Sports voucher for her hard work and superb responses all week.
Street Art
As part of their Street Art topic, Year 6 visited the Baltic Triangle to see some some amazing art work. The Liver Bird wings were a definite favourite!
Drug & Alcohol Awareness Workshop
6O visited the Learning Space at Anfield to take part in a drug and alcohol awareness workshop led by Young Addaction. As well as finding out about the dangers, we each took part in a presentation to show what we had found out. We also tried on some 'beer goggles' and discovered how difficult it was to do everyday things like walk in a straight line!
Chemistry With Cabbage
Crucial Crew!
We attended the Crucial Crew event where we discovered ways in which we can protect ourselves from danger. We met people from many organisations such as The Dogs' Trust and St. John Ambulance and had a fantastic morning.

Some Y6 children played UV Dodgeball at Anfield Sports Centre.It was brilliant!
Our visit from Zoolab!

New Age Kurling Champions!
Huge congratulations to our Year 6 children who took part in the LSSP New Age Kurling competition at ESLA and won! The children were a credit to our school.
Year 6 Science
We have been finding out about the systems of the human body and today we made our own digestive system! As you can see, some children enjoyed the mess more than others!
Tony Bellew, ex-pupil of Lawrence Community Primary School, came to visit and some of the Year 6 children were photographed holding his WBC belt!
