Year 6 Science Morning at DHS

Year 6 pupils joined their many counterparts from other local primary school for a stimulating morning of science facts and fun at Debenham High School. The morning began in the 'Stardome' with the extremely knowledgeable Peter Bassett who explained the solar system (as we know it) and many related topics.

After a short break, children spent time in a laboratory making, testing and developing their own space craft which they had to launch at a target whilst rotating like the earth!

Sunflower Competition

The summer is almost over and with that the entries for the sunflower competition are in. Having apparently sown the wrong seeds, Mr Pearce's tallest effort (see below) came in at a rather embarrassing 31cm. However, it is rather pretty!

There were some fantastic entries this year, with the tallest reaching a quite incredible 3m 18cm (only 2m 87cm taller than Mr Pearce's) and being superbly presented in a glorious way.
Below are some of our entrants who collected a range of prizes for their efforts.

Yom Kippur

This morning in assembly, we looked at the Jewish festival of Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish year, celebrated ten days after Rosh Hashanah. On this day a candle is lit to remember loved ones and generous gifts are given to charities.

It is a day when Jewish people make up for the things that they have done wrong and ask God for forgiveness. All adults (girls over 12 and boys over 13) fast for 25 hours from sunset to when the stars come out the following night. Services are held in the synagogues, the final one lasting about one and a half hours. The rabbi dresses in white. Afterwards, families gather to break their fast.

It is a time to think. A time to reflect. A time to think about doing things differently. It's about stopping saying 'I can't' and becoming an 'I can' person.
