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!

This week we have had a big push to relaunch our school learning behaviours. You may have seen the Lego character models around school. These characters represent Resilience, Reflectiveness, Resourcefulness and Relationships, and give us the skills we need to learn effectively.

As part of the relaunch, today we watched the Lego Movie and made links to each character’s learning journey. This can teach us to emulate the important skills the characters showed in our own lines, both in school and outside school.

Recently we have been finishing off some art from the autumn term. We made designs inspired by nature and our local woodlands, which we then carved out of Lino. We think used the link to create a print. We have had great fun doing this!

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.
