Blakehill Primary School

Autumn Term

6N - September 2024!

Fabulous first day in 6N! The children were asked to work in teams to create an ‘Egg Rocket’, using just (recycled) paper and tape to protect the egg. Every egg survived the 2.5m drop but there were a few casualties when they crash landed down from 5m! The children collaborated brilliantly - sharing out the roles, supporting each other, and communicating in a mature manner. A great start!

In 6N, we celebrated World Mental Health Day by discussing the ‘5 ways to wellbeing’. The children were very mature about this and came up with some good ideas for promoting a happy, healthy lifestyle. Then we made Fortune Tellers, which were full of ideas for improving our wellbeing, and in turn our mental health.

6N at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. We had a cracking time and used this trip as inspiration for our DT project, building electronic fairground rides. We also challenged ourselves by going on some of the 'white knuckle' rides.
