From eyeballs to estimation and festive performances…

The week in whcih we have honoured remembrance with creativity and respect, explored kindness through Odd Socks Day, and discovered how light travels in straight lines in Science!

A week full of energy, expression and excitement in Year 6! From performing The Prince of Bel-Air in our Poetry by Heart celebration to sharing our achievements with parents, experimenting with science, and creating art inspired by L.S. Lowry, we’ve ended the half term with pride and plenty of smiles.

The week in which we finished building strong Anderson shelters, crafted clever circuit switches, and celebrated inspiring figures for Black History Month — all while having lots of fun learning!

Whether it’s crafting sturdy Anderson shelters or growing from our ‘flearning’ on a BMX, we’re learning to persevere, problem-solve and push ourselves.

Democracy, teamwork, and learning in action — we are making our voices heard, building skills, and having a blast every step of the way!

Venice, Viewpoints & Vibrance!
The week in which we explored Canaletto’s world for Arts Week—sketching, storytelling, and even speaking a little Italian! From pastel palazzos to a colourful finale at the Colour Run, it’s been a week full of creativity and bellissimo memories!

From crafting Punch and Judy puppets and exploring Victorian seaside traditions to writing persuasive letters about climate change and hearing an inspiring talk from Chris Lubbe, former bodyguard to Nelson Mandela—it’s been a week to remember!

Testing times…not for us! We completed our SATs with a smile and took the week in our stride whilst continuing to enjoy a range of exciting learning activities!
