Andy Barrow's visit to Upland Primary School

His visit was inspirational to not only me but many of my fellow classmates especially how he got to the Olympics  after a tragic life changing accident that occurred during a game of rugby. He was explaining in full detail  how important a healthy diet can be and how too much sugar is extremely bad as well as we should be drinking plenty of clean water and not harmful energy drinks to keep us hydrated during excise.  He told us how long he had to train per-day. We were very lucky to experience this amazing man at our school. I hope I get to see him agin later in life!!

If the world were a village...

Today we watched a video that showed us what percentages the population of the earth would be if it only had 100 people living on it. Once we had collected information on the population, we created pie charts and bar graphs to show us the continents that had the most people living in them.  

If the world were a village...

Today, we watched a video about if the world were a village and only had 100 people in it. Then we transferred the population of each country onto pie charts and bar graphs.

A vibrating motor that vibrates the legs.

I made this moving robot by firstly I cut out to foam squares the same size. Next I cut a tiny square out of one of them then stuck them together.then I stuck a motor to the bottom of the hole.then finally I rapped the device in tin foil and put four paper clips at each corner as legs.

The other side of truth

This term we have been reading The other side of truth by Beverly Naidoo. Today we have put ourselves in Sade and Femi's shoes after they are caught up in an incident in a video store. The children are taken and interview by the police. So that we could write our own police incident reports we interviewed the children to gather as much information as we can. You may wonder why the children in the videos are using false names, year 6 will tell you all about it in the comments section below ...

Today we have been learning to combine music, videos and photos to create our own shows. We started by importing the title credits we made last week and adding in new scenes we filmed today. We then worked on refining the transitions between each new scene to make the show look more professional.
