Month: September 2017

Today we were visited by the company Healthy Minds UK.  They brought their inflatable brain to show the children and we took part in a workshop to learn about how the brain works and how to keep it healthy.  You can see the pictures below:

Today we were investigating how periscopes work. We discovered that light travels in straight lines and reflects at the same angle which it enters a mirror. Using this information, we worked in groups to create periscopes!

This half term, Year 6 are again working with One Goal to receive expert coaching in our PE lessons.  Our lessons also focus on the ‘6 habits’ (attitude, behaviour, courage, determination, effort, friendship) which children can apply in other areas of the curriculum too.  You can see some of the pictures below:

After assembly, Year 6 had a visit from our class governor Sister Dorothy.  We talked about our hopes and fears for Year 6 and the children completed a piece of work to express how they are feeling about the year ahead.

This half term, Year 6 are working with Premier Sports to receive expert coaching in our PE lessons.  Our lessons are based on invasion games with a focus on working as a team in attack and defence.  You can see some of the pictures below:

Welcome to Year 6!  We hope you enjoyed your first day with us today and are excited about the year ahead.

We have some amazing lessons and experiences planned for you which we are sure you will look back on fondly in years to come.

This is a very busy year, which will require a lot of hard work and determination, but it is also very enjoyable and rewarding when you achieve success or experience new challenges and situations.

Keep up the fantastic attitude you showed today and once again, welcome to Year 6

Mr Lane and Mrs Buckley
