Year 6 have been very lucky to have a coach from Trent Bridge come and teach them cricket! They’ve learnt key skills in batting, bowling and fielding, alongside good communication and effective teamwork. Some of them are naturals!
In Year 6, we’ve had a very busy and exciting term! From our National Assessments, learning about the Ancient Mayans, and to preparing for our musical ‘The Lion King’.
Take a look at some of the wonderful learning we’ve done this half term…
History
We’ve been learning all about the Ancient Maya: how they became to be so successful, whether or not they were bloodthirsty or civilized and what could have possibly happened to them.
Geography
In Geography, we’ve been looking at North America by studying the countries in the continent and the states within the USA.
RE
In RE, we’ve been learning about witnessing the Good News and how we have a responsibility to care for others in our topic, Healing.
Art
In art, we’ve been learning about William Morris and his wonderful wallpaper designs.
Here are the songs for the 2025 Musical!
TTRS and Numbots!
Mathletics Results
Year 6 have been putting their faith into action this Lent term, but raising money for our Lenten Fundraiser.
They have donated money for special treats like doughnuts, popcorn and hot chocolate! Year 6 have also been working incredibly hard to complete their Walk for Lent fundraiser, and have surpassed their target. They are currently on lap 78 and they hope to get a few more in, before the end of term.
Our Super Science Ambassadors kick started this year’s British Science Week by leading a whole school assembly. We began with learning a little about our Science saint – At. Albert the Great, and read a prayer that previous ambassadors wrote. They shared the theme, which is ‘Adapt and Change’ and links to our own lives that we can make with science. They launched the Poster competition and all week have been running ‘The Gadget Shop’ which will continue this week, or until all stock is sold! Prices range from 50p to £2. Itemised lists with prices are posted around the school.

In DT this term, Year 6 have been learning about Complex Circuits and applying our Science knowledge of electricity. We created an alarm system, which lights up a warning light and sounds a buzzer, when an avalanche hits the microswitch. We planned, designed and built a circuit using a buzzer, bulb and microswitch and designed a mountain for the avalanche to fall from. Take a look at our final creations!
