Celebration of Our Learning

To celebrate the end of SATs and their hard work, Year 6 enjoyed having an ice lolly while chatting with their friends on the field. We also had great fun playing a range of board games in the classroom. The children loved their well-deserved celebrations and particularly enjoyed beating their teachers at their favourite board games! (May, 2026)

This half term, Year 6 have shown incredible hard-work, determination and maturity when completing their SATs. The children have approached every test with focus, resilience and a positive attitude. We have been extremely impressed by the way they have stayed calm under pressure, supported one another and continued to give their very best effort. The whole school community are so proud of every individual! Here are some photos of the children enjoying their delicious SATs breakfast. (May, 2026)

In History, Year 6 have been learning about the 'Dig for Victory' campaign during World War Two. We learnt about the purpose of the campaign and looked at a variety of example posters, discussing what we liked about them and the persuasive techniques used. Afterwards, we created our own 'Dig for Victory' posters, using slogans, catchy titles, colourful pictures and characters. (April, 2026)

This week, Year 6 took part in a SATRO Coding Workshop. We worked collaboratively with a partner to follow instructions to build different Lego structures before using our problem-solving and coding skills to make the creations move. The children showed excellent teamwork and resilience throughout and had a great time! (April, 2026)

As part of our history learning, Year 6 went on a school trip to The Rural Life Living Museum to learn more about WW2. We dressed as evacuees and took part in a variety of exciting activities. We experienced what life would have been like in an evacuee school and participated in some role play. We also got the opportunity to go on a steam train journey and explore the shelters and buildings that were around at the time. In the Make Do and Mend session, we learnt about rag rugging and had a go at doing this ourselves using a wooden clothes peg. We all had a fantastic day! (March, 2026)

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 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.
