Science: Gears, Levers and Pulleys

1/2/2024

This half term, we have been learning all about forces. Within this topic, we have learnt about simple machines which makes it easier for us to complete tasks. We carried out an experiment to test how much force was needed to lift a load when we moved the turning point on a lever and we even designed our own machines using the mechanisms that we learnt about. Some of us even managed to use an inclined plane and screw!

Vikings Day

25/1/2024

Today, we were Vikings for a day. It was amazing to learn all about why they invaded England, what they believed and their daily life. We even learnt how their religion influenced the names that they gave to the days of the week. Did you know that a Viking king who had died was cremated on a long ship with his weapons and even a horse head?

Karrabing Film Collective

15/11/2023

Year 6 had a great time exploring the digital art and the theme of colonisation. We were fortunate enough to be part of an amazing workshop; we learnt about indigenous film making and got to create our own takes on story telling through still pictures (polaroids) and junk modelling.

Caribbean Islands

5/10/2023

We have been learning all about the Caribbean Islands. We have learnt about the History of Jamaica, learnt about the thirteen islands classed as countries and the push and pull factors around migration. To end our learning, we did some cooking; our chickpea curry was delicious.

Bowling Superstars!

12/6/2023

Our Year 6 children have worked so hard this year, preparing for their SATS and helping out around the school as Young Leaders. Mrs Graham decided that they had earned a reward - a trip to the Bowling Alley. There were Strikes and Splits from everyone and the children had an amazing time!

Year 6 are Junior Citizens!

11/12/2022

Our Year 6 class developed their understanding of communities and their role as citizens both locally, nationally and globally. The event was held at Lee Fire Station and the children explored themes including transport, fire safety, the role of the police, road safety and healthy lifestyles.

Jigsaw: Celebrating Differences

11/11/2022

This half term, we have been learning about what makes us all different. In this lesson, we reflected on challenges that face people in the world. We had to carry out an activity as a group. In our groups, we represented people in society who have a disability: blindness, paralysis, deafness and the loss of a limb. We learnt how important collaboration is and it helped us to understand the challenges that many people face in the world.

Our Class Worship

20/10/2022

Year Six had our first Class Worship since the Covid Lockdown and we loved it! Our parents got to see all of our hard work: our scary stories; West African inspired masks; non-chronological reports and lots more.
