Y6 War Poetry
As part of our week of remembrance, Y6 have studied the poem Dulce Et Decorum Est by the famous war poet Wilfred Owen. They used his thought provoking poem to create their own poetry which is both beautifully written and moving.
Y6 Anti-bullying day

Attendance Race Winners!
Congratulations to Y6 who are the overall winners of this half term’s class attendance race. They were delighted to receive a frisby each as a reward. Well done!
Y6 Library Visit
Y6 spent an afternoon at the library today. They returned to school with a selection of books of their choice after enjoying listening to a chapter or two of our class novel - Street Child.
Y6 Water Workshop
Y6 spent an interesting morning with Jenny from United Utilities. They learnt about saving water and where our water comes from. We were all surprised to learn that running the tap whilst brushing our teeth wastes on average 18 litres of water!
Y3 and Y6 buddies
As part of our RE work on being good shepherds, Y3 spent a lovely afternoon in Y6 getting to know their new “buddies”. Each younger child has been assigned a Y6 role model to keep them safe and offer a friendly face to them in KS2.
