On Wednesday the 7th of January we had a visit from Hampshire Fire and Rescue service.
First they showed us a video of a room burning and catching fire and they explained why we should have smoke alarms and also what to do in the case of a fire when you are trapped in a room. This happened in the hall as a whole year group.
The next bit was in our classes, they came round to each class separately to do activities with us one was to go out to their old fire engine which had been adapted and turned into a small house! When we were in there we had to spot the dangers around the house.
In the class room, we watched a couple of the road safety hedgehog adverts and another quite shocking one where a boy walks out between two narrowly parked cars and gets hit by another car coming at about 30mph.
Here is a link to a very interesting site with a lot of activities for you to try :

Animation Films
Year 6 are making short animation films using modeling clay creatures just like Wallace and Gromit, with the help of Helen from Southstreet Productions.

Year 6 are making short animation films using modeling clay creatures just like Wallace and Gromit, with the help of Helen from Southstreet Productions.
We got into groups of 4, created our own plastescene models and then started shooting. We used lap tops and cameras these to make and watch the film we were going to make.
The models had to be adjustable so we could move them in each photo and they had to have a firm base so they wouldn’t topple over.
It was a very hard task and we had to be very patient because we had to take about 500 photos. We took so many because in each photo there was only a slight difference which meant that it ran smoothly as a movie.
Some of our films will be posted later on, but here are some photos of our models.
