Year 6

Night Bus Hero
Last half term, we read the 'Night Bus Hero’ book We were lucky enough to receive a personalised video message from the author Onjali Q. Rauf.
History – Crime and Punishment
In history we have been looking at Crime and Punishment and how it has changed over time. We looked at punishments throughout the Tudor Period, Anglo-Saxons and Victorians. Take a look at some of our wonderful double page spreads.
Crucial Crew
At the beginning of Y6 we went on a visit to Crucial Crew – Life Wise Centre. We took part in a variety of workshops to understand how to stay safe in our environment.
Science
We learnt all about our circulatory system and how diet, exercise and drugs affect it. We were treated to a visit from Wales High School who conducted a heart dissection.
Religious Education
We spent the last half term learning about Christianity and the gospels. We discussed the phrase ‘What Would Jesus Do?’ and the importance it has to modern Christians. This linked with our Harvest Festival, which highlighted the importance of helping others.
Art
Year 6 spent the half term looking at the work of Sir Henry Moore, and explored patterns, shade and tone in their art learning through the half term, with some fantastic results!

Reading
We absolutely love reading across our school and in Year 6 we have been exploring a huge range of books and genres. Take a look at what we have looked at so far and what some of our children’s favourite titles are!
Science – Evolution
To end our science topic on evolution and inheritance we created a double page spread to showcase our learning. This gives children a chance to be creative and display their knowledge in different ways.
Art – Andy Warhol
Year 6 have really enjoyed learning about the artist Andy Warhol. They created some fantastic 3D pop-up art, inspired by the artist himself. It took a lot of time and patience to build the structures, but they all showed their incredible resilience!
Star pupils!
So far this year, children have been showing off how hard they have been working. To reward them, they can take home a personalised post card to show how brilliant they have been in school!
