F2LW had a wonderful time at Church Farm yesterday!
We were introduced to the Farmers and we saw lots of different animals such as, pigs, goats, geese, meerkats and emu's. We went on an exciting tractor ride to go and feed some ponies, alpacas and donkeys. We then went to the Hen House and collected lots of eggs followed by holding some rabbits and guinea pigs. We learnt so much about the farm and are excited to continue our learning in the upcoming weeks.

On Friday Year 6 spent an exciting morning creating a prototype for a new Birkenhead Landmark. We studied the features and measurements of iconic landmarks in our capital city and put together a proposal for a replica structure in our own locality.
As architects we needed to use our maths to calculate land areas, surface areas and volume and then we applied our understanding of scale factors to produce blue prints for construction. We had no idea how much maths was involved!

We also looked at how to keep our minds healthy by using our 'Zones of Regulation Chart', this helped us to look at our different emotions and how to deal with them. We then participated in some breathing exercises and yoga which helped us feel very calm and relaxed. We have had a lovely week learning all about how to stay healthy!
