Year 6

Y6 had an absolutely fantastic day at Walby Farm Park. We explored the new wooden fort and then after lunch enjoyed time in the indoor play barn. We conquered lots of our fears on the giant red slide!

Y6 are thoroughly enjoying their Autumn term class novels Street Child by Berlie Dougherty. 
The novel tells the story of a Victorian street orphan who is fighting for his life on the dirty streets of London. Y6 are enjoying every chapter and have found endless opportunities for writing from the…

Y6 enjoyed a design and technology day creating “fashion” from recyclable items. The theme was “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” and they certainly did that. Working in small teams, they created a selection of weird and wonderful items of clothing and showed their designs off on the cat-walk.

Y6 kicked off the final half-term of the summer term with their first athletics lesson with Mrs Mason. They learnt how to bounce lightly on their toes and place their arms in the correct position to optimise their best possible running style and technique. 

Y6 enjoyed a morning outdoors in the fresh air using the nature in our school-yard to help them create some fantastic and highly imaginative artistic creations! It was a great way to end Mental Health Awareness Week. 

To mark the start of Mental Health Awareness Week (this year’s theme is Nature), our Y6 children used oil pastels and worked on their shading and shadowing techniques to create these calm and peaceful, nature-inspired pictures. 

To celebrate National Autism Awareness week, Y6 discussed what it’s like to be autistic and were really interested to understand and reflect on some of the challenges autistic people face in their lives. They also learned about the importance of treating everyone with respect and kindness.

Year 6 have been working on their pencil control and shading skills in their art sketching work. They used the scientist Charles Darwin as inspiration to create portraits as he is our featured scientist during National Science Week. 

As part of National Science week, Year 6 have been learning about inventors and innovators.  We had a great Science day making spaghetti skyscrapers and designing fabulous fliers. We learnt some really important lessons about the engineering of structures, how to make them strong and the…

Our Y6 children were asked to choose their favourite author and create a biography about their lives and achievements. 

As part of their Design and Technology curriculum, the Y6 children who are learning from home were tasked with developing their own recipes and creating some delicious dishes in the kitchen. Dishes created ranged from cup-cakes to pizza and pasta dishes!

Following the latest news that we will all be returning to school very soon, the children in Y6 created bright, rainbow posters to show their appreciation that normality is slowly returning!
