Welcome to Year 6!

Highlight of the week 6/10/25: This week in Science, Year 6 have been exploring the fascinating world of microorganisms. Using computers, the children worked brilliantly to research and identify the characteristics of different microorganisms, discovering which ones are helpful—like yeast and certain bacteria—and which ones can be harmful, such as those that cause illness. It was a fantastic cross-curricular activity, linking our Science learning with Computing skills. The class loved using their IT skills to search, sort, and present information 
clearly and creatively. Their teamwork, curiosity, and enthusiasm made the lesson truly awesome!

Highlight of the week 22/09/25: Last week, our amazing Year 6 class had a fantastic time at Forest School, where we linked our outdoor learning to our Viking topic. The children threw themselves into every activity with great enthusiasm—from hunting down Viking facts, to practising with fire steels, building dens, and even creating their own warrior shields! A huge thank you goes to Mrs Mitchell for leading and supporting the session—we really appreciate the time, effort and energy she put into making the experience so engaging for the children. Well done, Year 6! You should all be very proud of your effort and enthusiasm.

Highlight of the week 8/09/25: What an awesome start to Year 6 we have had! Our launch day was a huge success and set the tone for an exciting year ahead. The children spent the day learning all about the Vikings, diving into their fascinating history and discovering what life was like during those times. A special highlight was being able to see some pictures from the YORVIK Viking Centre, kindly shared by one of our very own classmates – it really brought our learning to life. To finish off the day, the children designed and created their very own Viking boats. The creativity, teamwork, and enthusiasm shown by everyone was fantastic, and the results were truly impressive. We couldn’t have asked for a better beginning to Year 6. It was an awesome day, and we are so excited for all the learning adventures still to come!
