House Captains 2020-2021
Wow! What an incredible election we have had for this year's house captain vote!! We had 41 (yes 41!) candidates put themselves forward to represent their house from year 6.
We are all so so soooo proud of every single one of the year 6s for putting so much effort into their letter and for truly showing what being a PJS is all about - being the best you can be!!
After collecting and counting the hundreds of anonymous voting slips, we are pleased to introduce you to this year's house captains...

This half term the children will be learning about...
Ancient Greeks
What did Ancient Greece do for us?
We were given some picture clues which were related to Ancient Greece. First we discussed our ideas and then we were given the clues to match to the pictures.
When was Ancient Greece?
We explore different historical time lines and had to place civilisations/periods studied in chronological order and compare the overlap in duration and intervals between them.
Which famous Greek is the most influential?
After researching into some famous Greek people, we prepared our speeches and had a debate in class as to which famous Greek should remain in the Hall of Fame and which famous Greek should be ostracised
What was the most significant Greek influence?
We reflected on our Greek topic work this half term and designed a stamp which represented what we thought was the most significant Greek influence.
Autumn 1 Science - HEARTBEAT
Why does my finger bleed? We explored the heart and its purpose.
How do I breath? We made a model of our lungs to help us understand how our lungs work. We then investigated our lung capacity.
What is blood needed for?
