This year’s Forbidden Corner trip was a huge success! The children had an amazing time exploring the strange rooms, tunnels and mazes. We cannot wait to go back again next as it is one of the highlights of the year!

6TC had an amazing sports day! The weather was fantastic and there was such a good atmosphere, with all of the children encouraging and supporting each other! Birkdale were the overall winners but everyone who took part should be proud of their efforts! Well done everyone!

More field events!

A few from the track!

Did you know that we have an amazing vegetable garden here at ACE? Today, children in 6TC helped in our community garden -weeding, tidying and gardening. Here they are showing off some of the delicious strawberries they picked!

Hi everyone! We have made it to How Stean Gorge and we are having a great time so far!

We started off with some activities this afternoon. Some groups did orienteering, another group went caving and the final group went on the via feratta.

The girls in this group pushed through their fears and made it through the cave!

More pics of the via ferrata boys…

In the evening we played some games on the field! Hopefully everyone will be tired and ready for an early night! 😅

I am so proud of these amazing children who have worked so hard over the last few weeks and gave it their all in their SATs exams! Whatever the outcome, you all did amazing and showed a fantastic attitude! Well done!

We celebrated with a fun afternoon in the sun! We had a rounders tournament against the other classes in Year 6. It was such a lovely afternoon and it was so nice to see so many, happy, smiling faces…. Oh, and a big thank you to Miss Coope for bringing in the ice lollies!

On Tuesday we had an amazing virtual reality workshop in school. We explored the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza!

This was an amazing experience and all of us had a fantastic time. What a great way to start our new topic, ‘Mayan Mysteries’!

This half term we have been enjoying learning to play the ukulele in our music lessons. So far we have learnt the F, C and D minor chords. Both Mrs Cossavella and Mr Clayton have been extremely impressed with how the children in 6TC have been doing!

Today we had a visit from PC Rothery who came into school to speak to all the children in Year 6. This session forms part of our PSHE curriculum and shows children the issues and dangers surrounding mobile phones, social media and sharing of images and videos online.

The children watched the video, Alright Charlie, which is available on YouTube should any parents wish to watch the video in order to support their children with these conversations at home.

Over the last few weeks we have been visiting Allerton High School for science lessons. This is a super experience for the children and is always really popular with the year 6’s!

Making rockets!

Making a tea bag fly!

In art this term we are looking at synesthesia and the work of Vassily Kandinsky. We started by responding to pieces of music with mark making on the page. We thought about the different colours, patterns and images appear in our minds when we heard the music and we replicated them to make art.

More to come over the coming weeks!
