2024/2025

Week commencing 3.10.22:

This week, a physically fun workshop woke up our bodies and brains. All throughout the day, Year 6 visited the Upper School Hall for a delightful dance workshop. Students who participated in Young Voices will have recognised this group as Urban Strides. 

Amy, a member of this organisation, taught us how to perform some marvellous moves. 

Maia, 6AJ, exclaimed, "It was a fantastic experience!".

In maths, we've been looking at long division and long multiplication, whilst in English we have been studying the story of the peppered moth. 

"Overall, this week has been very fun and interesting," as quoted, Maisie (6WW).

P.S. We just wanted to let you know that the school policy for breaktime snacks is fruit, yoghurt or plain crackers. This is to keep you healthy, focussed and energised throughout the day. 

All in all, this has been another fantastic week in Year 6. Our next blog update will come after our residential visit to North Wales, which we are all extremely excited for.

Week Commencing 26.09.22

This week, Year 6 have participated in many educational activities. 

We got to experience an incredible performance of Macbeth by the Young Shakespeare Company (photos below). It was incredible and we will come back to this story when we do our Tudor topic 'Toil and Trouble' after half-term!

Our current book being Darwin's Dragons, we have written a diary entry from the perspective of the main character, Syms Covington. We just can't wait to find out what happens at the end! 

On Wednesday, a very special visitor came to see KS2. Her name was Fletch, and she and one of her translators (Charlotte), taught us how sign along to a song. When we were allowed to ask questions, she told us how she was born deaf and learned to sign language at an early age. We were exceedingly lucky to have her because she has recently gone on tour with Ed Sheeran!

WC: 12.09.2022

This week, many interesting and educational activities took place. In Maths, we have been learning about rounding numbers, sometimes using number lines to help us.

Very excitingly, on Friday afternoon, we visited Warwick School so we could see bestselling author Cressida Cowell in person! She had just released a new book, which only had been published the day before, and some of us even got signed copies!

Visiting her tied in perfectly with the book (The Wizard of Once) we had been working on in English and Guided Reading. This was mainly because she had written it. We did setting descriptions of the Badwoods, where the Wizards and Warriors live. We looked at using challenging vocabulary and  inference to convey character and setting. 

In Science, we looked at the start of our Evolution and Inheritance unit and explored how we inherit characteristics from our parents. How are you similar and different to your parents?
