Year 6 learnt about the circulatory system today and how it moves blood around the body. They looked at how the body needs oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to enable it to work and drew the system within their bodies.
Today is Year 6’s last day. They have had an amazing year and time at Marlfields. The children should be exceptionally proud of all their achievements and we wish them luck and happiness for their bright futures ahead.
The Year 6’s put on a superb performance on Wednesday night. They were all stars and dazzled the audience with their energetic singing and dancing. Stanley Marvel (Matteo) was a clumsy clot but always dreamed of being a superhero. With a dose of secret formula and a pair of anti-gravity pants from his gran (Nevaeh) he crushed the Candy King (Leo) and saved the planet!
Year 6 took part in their last sports day at Marlfields Primary Academy and a good time was had by all.
The children started the day with a game of Wacky races. They had a range of challenges to complete whilst racing in teams.
Our final activity was Jacob’s ladder. Each child climbed the ladder whilst the other children were belaying.
The children have had a fabulous time at Boreatton Park. They have been amazing and we’re really proud of their achievements.
Today we started the day playing “Snap Shot” – a photograph version of a treasure hunt. Then we learnt a new game called aero ball – a mix between netball and trampolining.
After lunch, we went climbing. So many of the children reached the top! We then participated in an orienteering challenge. One of the teams had a little trouble with which way was north.
This evening we played real-life Cluedo! The children had to find clues from the PGL leaders in order to solve the mystery.
