Hello all. What a creative class we are in 6C! Today we have been looking at fashion and where designers get their inspiration from. Stella McCartney said that “Fashion should be fun” and that’s what inspired us create these designs.

We made original outfits for our models using newspaper and other materials and I’m sure you will agree that the results are fantastic!

Can you guess any of the concepts? Some clues for you: ‘jellyfish’, ‘fruit’… all sorts of things!

Well done to everyone in 6C for completing their SATS this week. You all did incredibly well and showed a fantastic attitude all week!

We celebrated this afternoon with a party and had a great time!

In Year 6 we learn how blood travels around the body. To illustrate this we mad a board game. Here is an example from Ben, Benjamin and Joseph.

The object of the game is to be the first to reach the brain by travelling to the heart, then going to the lungs to pick up oxygen, then going back to the heart again before being pumped (fully oxygenated) around the rest of the body!

Great job, boys!

An important part of our PHSE work this half term is about teaching the children to identify and assess risks in relation to drugs, both legal and illegal, as well as alcohol etc.

Today we looked at different scenarios and identified the risks involved, as well as what decisions to make.

We had a lot of fun in 6C taking part in Science Week. We did some fun experiments in class. Who said school is boring?!

Today we were visited by PCSOs from West Yorkshire Police. We watched a video called Alright Charlie which teaches the children about how to use their mobile phones safely and the dangers of unsafe adults, with themes of grooming covered. If children have any more questions about this, please ask an adult in school or at home. Parents, please feel free to ask your child about this workshop to help them stay safe in the future.

This session is part of our curriculum and is covered each year in Year 6.

Today, the Times Table Rockstars ‘NSPCC ROCKS’ competition began and 6C are taking part along with all the their classes in KS2. We joined in with the national livestream and had a great time watching ourselves climb up the leaderboard. Fingers crossed we can finish top within our school!

Yesterday we had another fantastic lesion at Allerton High. We were able to use matches – safely of course – to make a teabag fly!

This showed us how hot air rises in a super fun way.

As part of our history work this half term, last week we completed a workshop delivered by the National Holocaust Museum in Nottinghamshire. The children enjoyed learning about this sad subject and it offers an important introduction to this sad part of 20th century history which they will learn about in more detail in high school.

On Thursday, 6C started their block of three science lessons at Allerton High School. We had a brilliant time learning in the science lab and we did a fun experiment with popping toys! We cannot wait for next week!
