On Monday we went to St John’s Church for our annual church service with the rest of UKS2. We had a lovely time and it was great to start the Christmas season together with Rev. Sharon. Thank you to all the parents who came and to all the children who sang and read beautifully.

Last week was Anti-Bullying Week and we had a lot of really cool activities going on in school. First, we completed the BBC anti-bullying lesson which all the children enjoyed being involved in. Monday was also Odd Sock Day where we celebrate our differences and individuality by wearing odd socks!

Our role models were also able to join Year 1 for a special lesson on ‘Bullies, Boundaries and Falling Out’. It’s always lovely for us to get the chance to spend time learning with children from further down the school!

Together 6C want to say NO to bullies!

Today we marked Remembrance Day in school with coming together for moments of reflection as a year group in the Main Hall. We shared at work completed in class and a prayer we wrote together.

We then joined in the national two minutes silence at 11am to remember those who have lost their lives during war.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to school! We hope that you have had a fantastic half term holiday.

As we come back to school we are starting our fractions unit in maths. We will be doing a lot of work on fractions in the next few weeks!

Today we started by learning about equivalent fractions and how to simplify fractions. This is a really important area of the maths curriculum and it would be great if you could quiz the children at home!

Here is Mr Clayton working with some children using pizza slices to find fractions equivalents.

October is Black History Month and this week in 6C we learnt all about the HMT Empire Windrush and the so-called ‘Windrush Generation’ who were the first wave of migrants who came to Great Britain after the Second World War.

Here are some examples of the amazing fact files that the children have made to showcase their learning about the important event in modern British history.

Today as part of our science work we went into our school grounds to hunt for mini beasts! We all had so much fun and there was a lot of excitement and a lot of screaming!

6C had a lovely time on Wednesday morning with their buddies. The Reception children had decorated boxes and filled them with things related to them. A great way for us to get to know our buddies a bit better!

In Week 2, we went on a local area visit to Adel Woods, which is part of the Meanwood Valley Trail. This is part of our Year 6 curriculum and ties into our current reading, geography and science work in class.

The children had a great time exploring the woodland in our local area, improving their geography field skills and identifying plants and animals that are present in our local area. We also collected leaves which we brought back to school and used them to support our work on classification in science!
