Year 6 have had a great week, learning new skills and trying new activities. We have taken part in Mental Health Workshops and learnt all about money and savings in the HSBC Banking sessions.  On Wednesday, we all learnt valuable  First Aid skills and tried out CPR on dummies. We have also participated in Forest School sessions, making shelters and creating fire. As well as that, we have learned some British Sign language and researched future jobs and careers. 6A have also been busy doing Bikeability sessions!

Year 6 have been very busy over the last few weeks - we have finished our class novel, Kensuke's Kingdom and have been completing different pieces of writing and art based on this. In maths we have been looking at area of shapes and finding missing angles of triangles. This week we are participating in Bike Fix sessions ready for our Bikeability in a couple of weeks, so that we can mend a puncture and check that our bikes are safe. 

In Art 6B created clay abstract sculptures in the theme of Henry Moore 

Year 6 have been working hard over the last few weeks - last week we learnt about the Kindertransport project from WW II and wrote fantastic information reports about this. This week we have written brilliant descriptions of a winter morning. In Maths, we have been multiplying and dividing with fractions and used our knowledge to apply this to ratio problems and scale factor. We have been investigating circuits in science and also enjoyed a Mad Science Workshop this week. We are looking forward to designing and sewing our own bags next week in DT and creating clay sculptures in the style of War artist, Sir Henry Moore.

Year 6 have had a busy half term and have worked really hard over the last few weeks, once we had recovered from PGL!. We have all enjoyed reading the class novel, 'Holes' and have completed some great writing based on this. Last week we participated in Life Skills Week workshops, learning about budgets and jobs with HSBC and also joined in Mindfulness sessions and learnt crucial First Aid skills. 

After Half term we will be covering Fractions and decimals in Maths and continuing to learn about World War II in History. We will be learning new sewing skills and making our own bags for DT and will be creating some clay sculptures in Art.
