Week 1

What an amazing first few days in Year 6! We have had lots of fun beginning our new topics and have got stuck in to some challenging work! 

Tyler says, "I have loved Year 6 so far! I can't wait to learn more."

Bonnie says, "I have enjoyed Year 6 and the tasks that we have done and I can't wait for SATs!"

National Literacy Day

This week, we have made ourselves a bookmark to celebrate National Literacy Day. Have a look at some below:

Week 2

Year 6 have gained an understanding of what it was like for children in WWII this week by taking part in our very own air raid experience! Children were quick to the mark and hid at the sound of a siren! 

Week 3

What an amazing week of Artwork this week! We have a class of very talented artists, who have all been looking at using perspective to create realistic interiors!  Take a look at an example piece below:

Week 4

Week 5

We had a special visit this week from the Fire Brigade, who came to talk to Year 6 about being safe on the run up to Halloween and Bonfire Night. Mrs Gardner drew the short straw and had to try on a Fire Fighters clothing!

Week 6

This week has been amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed some of our grown-ups spending some time with us in our Topic lesson, in which we produced some amazing, mature work about Concentration Camps during WWII. We also really enjoyed taking part in World Mental Health Day, by wearing Yellow and designing our own Yellow Superheroes. Our week was finished off nicely, with some children winning the chance to share hot chocolate and whipped cream (along with some chocolates from Bonnie) in our reading area. Well done to this weeks reading stars! 

Week 7

This week, Year 6 have throroughly enjoyed DT Week! After researching and planning our designs, we took to work in teams, to make our very own WWII Anderson shelters! 

We have also celebrated Black History Week and took part in a carousel of activites across KS2.
