Celebration of Our Learning

This week, Year 6 celebrated World Book Day! The children dressed up as their favourite character from one of their favourite books and the Year 6 teachers dressed up as characters from one of our Year 6 books: Holes. In assembly, the Masked Readers were revealed and the children loved creating a movie of them retelling the story of 'Rain Before Rainbows' for their reception buddies on iMovie. It was a brilliant day! (March, 2026)

In Science, Year 6 have been learning about the circulatory system. This week, we learnt more about the heart and its functions. Each class created models out of playdough to explain the structure of the heart. Look how great our models and annotations are! (March, 2026)

In English, Year 6 have been learning about Anne Frank. Together, we read the book  'Anne Frank' by Josephine Poole. We wrote poems about Anne Frank's life and presented them in creative ways. The Year 6 teachers are so impressed with the inspiring poems the children have created. (March, 2026)

In DT this half term, Year 6 designed and created their own rainforest dioramas. We focused on showing the different layers of the rainforest and made a moving mechanism to go inside. At the end of the half term, we held a Year 6 DT exhibition where we had the opportunity to look at everyone's dioramas - even our reception buddies came to take a look! (February 2026)
