Year 6 had a great time exploring UV light with UV beads.

Year 6 parents, they have assured me that they will no longer question why they are asked to put sun cream on.

In preparation for International Women's Day, Year 6 enjoyed creating some public art that will displayed digitally in Margate, in March. Thank you Karen Vost for visiting Minster Chruch of England Primary School to inspire all of the children!

Our home learning champions in Orange Class sat on a cushion today! Keep those learning plates spinning everyone!

That's a wrap - Year 6 Production 2024, The Pirates of a Currrybean! We couldn't be prouder of all of the children involved. As Mr Kenny said, the cheeks of the audience were aching by the end; if they were not laughing, they were smiling! Thank you for all of the support from all of the parents; over 200 attended across the two nights! We look forward to a memorable week with Year 6 to bring their time at Minster to a close...

Orange Class had a fantastic time yesterday completing their own Muddy Bake Off, as well as looking for wildlfie in the school pond.

Light bulb moments for Year 6 during their electrical Science topic.

This week, Year 5 and 6 are taking their Computing lessons to the next level by using Micro:Bits to create a game of rock, paper, scissors. Their algorithms had to include a sensor (an accelerometer ) and logic to respond in the game. The children challenged members of staff to battles around the school to test their algorithms and decide how to improve them further. Fantastic work!

Year 6 have begun their Frozen Kingdom topic by exploring the science behind icebergs - the children investigated how they float, the amount of ice above/below the water and what happens when they come into contact with salt! They also learnt about the location of the polar regions and how lines of latitude and longitude are used tomap the Earth.

Term 2 and Year 6 have filled both of their marble jars. They picked the treat - Manhunt in the School Grounds. All of the children had a fantastic time, finding hiding spaces and taking part as the hunters and the hunted

Year 6 are thoroughly enjoying the chance to design and create as part of their 'Hola Mexico' topic. Next week, we will be making 'Day of The Dead' toys.

Year 6 loved the opportunity to interview the Priest and Eye witness to a human sacrifice today! - Chief MacNarkom and Ekim.

Yesterday, Year 6 visited Canterbury Cathedral to part in a series of workshops and to spend time thinking and reflecting on the meaning of Justice. The children were able to dress in traditional outfits, create stained glass artwork, play the cathedral organ and explore learning through drama. At the end of the day, they came together with other children to celebrate the day in a service led by 2 of our wonderful Minster children - they did an amazing job!
