Science Roadshow

Year 6 got some hands-on science experience when the Royal Liberty School put on a science roadshow. We used microscopes, experimented with enzymes and even examined some real organs.

We are game developers

Year 6 are going to be making their own computer games. We will be using the programming tool 'Scratch' to design and program our own games.


This tool is available to download for free to use at home from the Scratch website. You can also have a look at projects that other users have made using the software. This website has lots of video tutorials to help you get started.

Made Up Creature Dioramas

As part of our work in D&T, year 6 children invented their own creatures, using Switcheroo Zoo for inspiration. They then created a 3-D habitat for their creatures and made the creatures using a variety of materials.
