Welcome to Year 6 

Meet the team

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

We started the term with lots of test preparations and revision. The children put this to good use as they sat their tests and showed great determination and resilience. Following this, the children applied themselves well to creating lots of different pieces of writing to demonstrate all the skills they have learnt whilst at Chuckery.  We had lots of visits from community members, such as our local PCSO and the Safer Travel team, who have prepared us well for growing up and becoming more independent when outside of school.  The children have represented themselves and Chuckery well both during their visits to their new schools and during our trip to Barry Island. This term has ended with an amazing leavers’ performance.

What we have been learning about this term

Macbeth—The children got their teeth into the mystical story of Macbeth as they found out about the betrayals and temptations. They used a range of literary devices to retell the story.

Electricity— We designed and made some electronic quiz games using our knowledge of how circuits work. We needed to use good problem solving skills and resilience to tackle the challenge of getting our games to work.

Coasts -  We investigated the challenges Britain faces with coastal erosion and debated how we can protect our coasts and whether we should be doing so.

Victorians -  Some people think the Victorian period is a golden age and some think it is dark. We researched what happened during this time and debated whether the great inventions of the time outweighed the harsh conditions for the poor.
