As part of our work around our Big Question: Talent - nature or nurture?, Year 6 were really lucky today to be able to work with an artist in residence - Salina Somalya.
Their work focused on creating an installation for outdoors which will become a focal point for Remembrance and will also remain as part of their legacy to Penwortham Primary School.
Using plastic carrier bags, Year 6 learnt to recycle and repurpose in a creative way. Salina talked to the children about her work and they had the chance to develop skills and learn techniques of design using templates and a heat gun.
Year 6 listened attentively; showed brilliant teamwork; followed advice; discussed the importance of Remembrance; produced a fantastic outcome and even saw a double rainbow!
Take a look at the photos showing the different stages of their work and the final outcome.

We had a super time in Science this afternoon!
We planted all of our Daffodil bulbs and mystery bulbs ready before winter.
We worked well together by sharing equipment and helping each other along.
We also spent time looking at the results of our experiments to see what we found out.
Which beak is the most efficient?
Date: 12th Oct 2023 @ 12:50pm
We have been learning about the Galapagos Finches and how Darwin researched their beak adaptation. This week we investigated using different size and shape beaks to eat a range of different foods to see which beak is the most efficient, most versatile and which one could be easily adapted in the future.

Our toys had a lovely day at school today!
We all enjoyed drawing them in Art this afternoon.
We had to look carefully at the larger parts first, then the features and finally added detail such as clothing or texture.

Our final day at Borwick Hall. Today included the visit to Warton Cragg and the challenging team tasks of crate stacking and the leap of faith.
It has been a great experience. The children have gained skills and knowledge; all coming home with more than they had before they left. We are very proud of them all.

We have seen the sunshine all afternoon today! The groups have swapped activities today - half went to Cathedral Quarries and the other half went canoeing and indoor climbing.
We were also really lucky to be given a tour of Borwick Hall where we learnt about the history of the building, the family and some of the legends linked to the building and surrounding area.
Our last evening in the sunshine has enabled us to complete the Head Hunters challenge around the grounds and spend our money in the tuck shop.

Another fun packed and adventurous day at Borwick has been enjoyed by all even if it has been a little bit wet!
Some of us spent half a day on the canal in canoes playing games and paddling down the canal and under many bridges and half the day solving group challenges, including over the wall and crossing the river.
The other half of the group visited Cathedral Quarries where they built fires, explored tunnels in the cliff, scrambled up rocks, explored the caves and learnt some new bush craft techniques.
This evening we are being entertained by Mrs.Hesketh’s quiz!

We have had a brilliant first day and no rain up here so far whilst we have been out and about. Some of us have climbed Warton Crag (a mountain according to some of the children but a small hill to the instructor!) while others have completed the leap of faith and the crate stacking challenge.
This evening we are exploring the grounds before finishing off with hot chocolate and cookies.

A fantastic day at Rock and River.
Take a look and see us paddle boarding, kayaking and canoeing on the water. See us soaring up the rock tower and bravely taking on the ropes course.
