Welcome Back, Year 6!

We hope you had a lovely holiday and are ready for the Spring term. We’re looking forward to an exciting term of learning!

Week 6

This week is Mental Health Week. We have been designing fidget toys to sell at our wellbeing fair at the end of the week. Here are some of our amazing designs. 

Week 5

Year 6 have been composing their own music this week. We have created our compositions to accompany a piece of blues music. Using flat notes has helped to create the 'blues' sound that we need. 

Week 4

This week, Year 6 have been learning about how WWII affected the local area. This included learning that on Christmas Eve, 1944, a German V-1 bomb landed on Abbey Hills Road, destroying houses; causing injuries and claiming the lives of 27 people.  

Week 3

Year 6 were introduced to a narrative that will inspire their next piece of writing through drama. We created a conscience alley; tableaus and improvised before reading the story itself. 

Week 2

This week, we have been thinking about why we see things. We created a tube; switched all the lights out and placed a counter at the bottom of the tube -  we could not see it. Then, we put a hole in the tube and pointed a torch at it. We were able to see it! This was because the light travelled in a straight line through the hole to the counter. It then reflected off the counter and entered our eye. 

Week 1

Year 6's new class reader is The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Q Rauf which we have started to read this week. In April, we will be going to The Lowry Theatre in Salford to watch this performed on the stage.
