Welcome to the Comanche Class page. Here you can see some of our displays and find out what we have been doing recently. Comanche Class consists of Years 5 and 6 and is taught by Miss Harris with Miss Simmonds.

Looking back at the Spring Term: During science week, we spent time researching forces including air resistance and water resistance. We measured how far ‘balloon power’ could make a toy car travel and we created different shaped tin foil boats to investigate which boat would hold the greatest quantity of weight (2p coins).

Art day—for our wow moment the children were involved in a whole day of art. Each child selected the type of art that they wished to undertake and then spent the day producing amazing works or art. This is them designing and creating their clay masterpieces!

We have worked on science, looking at strategies for separating materials. The children had a mixture of soil and water and worked in groups to investigate how to separate them using a range of different methods. We have been learning how to create snap shot animations. The children planned and wrote their own storylines and they have used lego figures to create their animations. We have discovered it is long process and one that needs practise!!

Looking back at the Autumn Term: As part of National Poetry Day, Comanche class have been reading famous poems including The Jumblies by Edward Lear. We liked it that much we decided to decorate our door using the images from the poem. We have also been studying the Tudors and been collecting lots of facts and picture which you can see here.

As part of Road Safety week, some of the children in year 6 took part in School Speed watch. With the police they tested the speed that cars were travelling along Chapel Road. The police then stopped the motorists who were travelling too fast and the children asked them some road safety questions to encourage them to think more carefully about their speed in the future

The children in Year 5 took part in ‘My tree, my community’ where they asked older people about what Christmas was like in the past. They then made teapots and glasses to be displayed on a tree at the Eden Project. All children involved got a free ticket to take their family to Eden Project where they particularly enjoyed showing off the wonderful decorations they had made.
