Year 6 Blog
Term 2 week 1
Today our ‘Forever Pilgrim’s’ came back to visit our new Y6 children and share with them all the amazing achievements and knowledge from their first term at secondary school. We really enjoyed listing to them talk about their timetables, their teachers, favourite lessons, the food on offer at break and lunch times, the uniform and how they organise themselves with homework. Thank you ‘Forever Pilgrim’s’ - you continue to make us proud!
Alumini
Term 1 week 7 and 8
Some of the year 6 class who are very good at running went to cross country (a running competition) and and we achieved second to nineth place out of all the schools.
Some of the year 6s did the show rounds, to the possible new oak trees to look at the school.
This week we are leaning about appeasement in history and about Neville Chamberlain and Winston Churchill in WW2.
Term 1 Week 1 and 2
One of the highlights of the term was ‘Rock Steady’, showing us how to play electric instruments. In science we are learning about the heart and it’s very interesting so far! In History, we are learning about WWII: what an amazing topic. Fun Fact - did you know that Queen Elizabeth II helped in the war by driving a truck?
Term 1 Week 3 and 4
This week we have been exploring how the blood moves around the circulatory system. We have labelled the different chambers of the heart and used our new knowledge to examine a sheep heart in our science lesson. It was so much fun and something we never thought we would get to do. We identified the atriums, the ventricles and the aorta and pulmonary artery. In history we learnt about the axis and allies in WW2 and how these counties supported each other.
