Atomic Ayoob Workshop

We had a very slimy time when we were treated to a workshop with Atomic Ayoob. Learning about how adding different chemicals can change the consistency of a mixture, we created our own slime and watched as it went from liquid to solid and back again as we added different ingredients.

The Highwayman

Year 6 have been analysing a narrative poem written by Alfred Noyes called 'The Highwayman'. Set in 18th century England, the poem tells the tale of thief and his love, Bess. Using archaic language, it was a challenge to interpret and we began the week by unpicking each stanza to decipher the hidden emotions, actions and thoughts of each character. It gave us a fantastic insight into the poem.
