Historical detectives

Today year 6 explored some sources of evidence about the Vikings. They had to examine each source closely to prove some statements found in history books about the Vikings.

We found out that Vikings did not have horned helmets; they settled in towns and villages with farms; they were skilled craftsmen who traded with other parts of the world. 

Great detective work year 6. 


Live lesson about the heart

Prior to our science topic about the heart and the circulatory system, year 6 watched a BBC Live lesson today. The children were fascinated to find out how the heart pumps around 6 litres of blood around the body per minute. We found out about how the circulatory system delivers oxygenated and deoxygenated blood around the body. We discovered ways to keep our heart healthy too.

What a great way to introduce our topic.

Jenson has worked hard in his maths lessons this week and has a good understanding of ratio and fractions. This is tricky so well done Jenson.

Abigail and Alfie achieved the good to be green award for their excellent behaviour and attitude to learning. 


Long distance running

Well done to year 6 who braved the arctic weather this week in their athletics lesson. We were developing our stamina for long distance running and how to control our pace.


Muslim Workshop

Yesterday year 6 really enjoyed their workshop with visitor Imran. They were very curious and had some fantastic questions that they were keen to ask to further their knowledge about Islam. We focused on what is like to be a Muslim in Britain today. Can you remember the name of any famous British Muslims year 6? Please bring in facts about a famous Muslim to share in class.


A letter from HRH King Charles III

During the first half term, Year 6 wrote a letter to King Charles III as part of their learning about the royal monarchs. This week we received a very special reply from the Palace which we are delighted with. This is very special and will be framed in school for others to read.

Well done Year 6!

Board games in Y6

As part of our DT topic, Year 6 have researched and reviewed different board games. We then had a brainstorming meeting with our group to plan a few ideas for our games. After some board room discussions, we chose a game to design and make. Today we had the chance to play each other's games to get some market feedback. We then reviewed and evaluated our games.

The finished products are amazing. Well done!
