Year 6 - The Apprentice Challenge!

After the hard work of the SATS tests, Year 6 are given a challenge... they have to set up and run their own business at the school's Inflatable Day.

The children were allowed to choose who they wanted to work with and they had to assign a Team Leader, Finance Manager, Advertising Manager etc. They worked very well together and all managed to run a very successful stall, all making a profit!

Well done Year 6, we are all very proud of you!

Freshwater Theatre Company - John Lennon

Year 6 were very lucky to receive a visit from the one and only John Lennon! Well, an actor pretending to be John Lennon really, but he was very good.

He came to tell the children all about John Lennon's life and how influential the Beatles have been on the pop culture. The children are currently researching about The Beatles as part of our history topic; The 1960's.

All children had a great time finding out information, singing song and having a dance!

Discovery Week at Manford

The week of the 22nd of March was Discovery week at Manford.

We decided to take this opportunity to allow the children to revise their knowledge of Science and develop their thinking and team working skills. We gave the children a scenario; Imagine you are travelling on an aeroplane when suddenly, your plane crashes. You try to swim to safety and find yourself stranded on a desert island.

The children needed to work together to solve a variety of problems while staying on the island.

The problems included: Building a bridge to cross the raging waters, Building a tall structure to pick the fruit from the trees, Make a boat strong enough to carry one person and nice water pots.

The children had great fun and have even asked if they can do it again!

Life Exhibition at St Paul's Church

On Thursday, 11th of March 2010, Year 6 went to St Paul's Church in Hainault for a Life Exhibition.

The children learnt about the birth and death of Jesus and stories from the Bible. They also had to answer questions using a PDA, which all the children enjoyed using.

All children found it very interesting and most enjoyable.
