Welcome to Year 6
Our topic this term is:
Small Steps For Mankind.
Our question to answer is:
What can we learn from the past to guide our future?
Well done to Brooke, George and David for receiving end of term awards!
Class Assembly, 23rd October 2024
The Year 6s excelled themselves. Within two days they planned their assembly, wrote it and practiced it; they showed their maturity, respect and consideration towards each other and gave very a consummate performance - well done!

Christmas Designs
Designs have now been sent home for you to choose mugs, cards, tea towels etc.
Following ideas and inspirations within the theme of 'Trees', the children were left to their own creativity. There were some very striking creations.
Harvest Assembly 2024
The whole school put on a FANTASTIC 'Around the World' Harvest assembly. The dancing, singing and presentation from foundation to Year 6 were entertaining and very informative. All the children were credit to the school and local community.
Following on from National Poetry Day, Year 6 performed a poem by British poet Imtias Dharker: 'How to Cut a Pomegranate'.
Space Calling!
Year 6 were lucky enough to take part in a live chat with a NASA doctor who discussed his journey into the world of medical science and the vast amount of engineering opportunities that are available. Josef Schmid even answered one of our pupils questions!
Aiden in Year 6 had his question (in slide show above) answered by NASA surgeon Josef Schmid.
National Poetry Day 2024
To celebrate National Poetry Day, Year studied and performed a poem by British poet, Imtiaz Dharker: How to Cut a Pomegranate. Imtiaz was born in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan and grew up in Glasgow where her family moved when she was an infant.
Year 6 will be performing for the school at the Harvest Assembly on 9th October.
As part of our DT learning this term, we have been learning to sew on buttons. We all had a go and managed to see at least one button onto some fabric, a life skill which we were excited to learn! Next we’ll be applying this skill to our own designs. Watch this space for updates!
Researching Ancient Benin
Year 6 have been busy this week researching their History unit. To enhance their exploration of the topic, we received a delivery of books from the school library service, along with new school resources, including replica artifacts.
We had some fantastic presentations for the School Council - well done to all involved!
Physical Education
The children have been learning a range of skills and developing their agility, balance and coordination through netball and football. On Mondays we are lucky enough to have a secondary school teacher from Stoke Damerel Community College visit and share their expertise with the staff and children.
Polaris Dawn
"Back at home we all have a lot of work to do, but from here, Earth sure looks like a perfect world."
The children watched highlights of the first commercial space walk from the SpaceX website. They discussed this quote from Jared Isaacman, what it meant to them and maybe what inspired him to say it. They then wrote their independent ideas down and read them aloud, before making final edits.
