MOORLANDS PRIMARY SCHOOL
Deer
Year 6
Last Year!
Have a look below to see some of the things we got up to last year!
Building Anderson Shelters
We spent the morning creating our own Anderson Shelters. The designs are amazing!
STEM Rocket Project
Over the last couple of weeks, we have been working on a STEM Project (Science Technology Engineering and Maths) with Woodlands Secondary School. One of their teachers came in to set the challenge of building a rocket that would stay in the air for the longest time. We designed, built and tested the rockets before making final tweaks. The videos below are from launch day!!!!!!
Final Air Time
The Destroyer - No fly
The boombar - 2.23 seconds
The Flower - 2.53 seconds
Slay Rockets - 2.18 seconds
Skibbidy Rocket - 2.33 seconds
We were all given a little prize for taking part and the winning team(s) won a Science related book.
Well done everyone. You did brilliantly.
A huge thank you to Woodlands for coming in to work with us. We had a great time.
University Graduation
A huge congratulations to those who took part in the University work earlier in the year. We were invited to the University to take part in our graduation ceremony. We watched Jenny from Winchester Science Museum test different fuels (which was great!), had an ice cream, had our photos taken and received our certificates and prizes.
We spent the day at Milestones in Basingstoke, explore what life would have been like during World War 2. We learned how to be ARP Wardens and what is was like dealing with rationing and evacuation. We even got to visit the sweet shop and collected our weekly ration of sweets!

We then got to look around the rest of the museum, discover what life was like in Victorian times and explore the Milestones pier.

World Book Day
We had a great day focusing on all things books! We had a webinar with Lauren St John (Author of the White Giraffe) and a Footy and Booky Quiz. We listened to stories being read and admired each other's costumes.

Grounds Day 3
A fun day spent outside looking at and sketching leaves.
Conker Championship
This annual event is full of excitement. All children wear goggles and watch a safety video before the knockout competition begins! This year the final was between Pollyanna and Ethan with Ethan becoming the very jubilant winner.
Languages Day
For Languages Day, Year 6 had a focus of Ukraine. We dressed in blue and yellow and learned lots about life in Ukraine. We were very lucky to have Mrs Cuirlov come in. She taught us lots and had even prepared some food for us. Thank you so much. It was amazing!
Clay birds
As part of our transition into year 6, we made some clay birds (we made card ones in year 5).
Blackberry Jam!
What a way to start the year.
We went out around the grounds and collected blackberries.
We then made our delicious blackberry jam!
We then sold the jam.
All profits will go towards buying den building equipment!
Thank you to Cherry Tree preserves for donating many of the jars.
