  • Latest from Year 6

    Published 25/09/21, by Andy Mari

    In year six, we have been tremendously busy over the few weeks we have been back in school. We have begun by covering subjects such as rounding (Maths), independent writing based on the life of Vera Schaufeld (Literacy/English), glockenspiel practice and singing (music), revisiting the basics of French, and learning Netball skills (PE). In addition, some children have signed up to clubs: netball, football, sketching. We have also begun learning about a heart-felt topic titled ‘woeful wars` where we have looked at the significance of The Blitz and the impact it had. More recently, we created our own Air-Raid shelters with the resources provided by our teachers in order to survive an enemy attack. The results, for some, were catastrophic! Furthermore, in science, we have been totally submerged in the Evolution of different species living on the Earth, and how Charles Darwin has positively changed our opinion on how we view creatures. We are looking forward to learning more from our subjects as the term progresses.

  • BMX workshop- Mike Mullins

    Published 10/09/21, by Andy Mari

    On Tuesday 7th September, Year 6 were lucky enough to receive workshops from a World BMX Champion. During his visit, he performed different tricks that included: going over a ramp over teachers and shooting off in the air! Throughout the day, Year 6 were taught how to do perform various tricks and jumps on a BMX. We went over ramps and at the end we completed a freestyle. 

    "The best part was when we were taught all of the tricks, even when we become better at them!"- Poppy

    "I loved the part when we had the challenge ourselves to learn how to do the tricks"- Eriola

    "I liked that we went on the ramps and did tricks. We also learnt a new word- FLEARN. This means that you learn from failures"- Yasmin B.
