Welcome to Year 6 

Meet the team

What have we done this term to make us feel Proud?

This term year 6 have packed a lot into a short space of time. We have thoroughly enjoyed our two cooking sessions, making curry a stir fry and many of us have tried this out at home as well. During the residential at Laches Wood, children were pleased with their achievements in lots of different activities like caving and climbing. Where they were unsure at first, they pushed themselves and were brave. We explored being spiritual in the form of being in nature doing some art and some mediation in yoga. We wrote some amazing stories linked to Kensuke's Kingdom and our history work on Anglo Saxon's and Vikings. We've been working hard to apply our maths skills into test style questions preparing for our tests.  

What we have been learning about this term

This term, Year 6 have enjoyed and engaged with a number of mini adventures, including Spiritual Art, Islands, Evolution, Anglo Saxons and Viking as well as the Heart.   We have worked scientifically during our evolution mini adventure to understand where Charles Darwin's beak theory came from. In history we explored the Anglo Saxons and Vikings to decide which group were the most successful invaders. We found out that the rate of heart disease is increasing so we have investigated what we need to do to keep our hearts healthy as part of our science mini adventure on the heart. Using the book Kensuke's Kingdom as a stimulus, we learnt about life on a boat and used our geographical knowledge to try to predict where the story was set.
