We have been very lucky to have some wonderful guests joining us recently.
Last week, Mr Iddon came to visit us in school. He told us all about his life as a fighter pilot in the Royal Air Force and brought in some real life equipment which he used to use!
This week we had a zoom call with Emma Carroll, the author of our class novel ‘Letters From The Lighthouse’. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to ask questions about the book and hear more about her other works.
this week we have been making a noise against bullying! We have had lots of discussions this week about how we can make a difference and put a stop to bullying. We have talked about what it is to be an upstander or a bystander and the children have been United in their desire to end bullying this week. On Thursday we made signs and chants and took part in our picket, whilst Friday was Odd Socks Day. The children enjoyed themselves (in spite of the horrendous weather while we were outside chanting!)
Yesterday, the whole of Year 6 went to Eden Camp on our first school trip of the year. All the children had an amazing time finding out about what life was like during the war and the many different aspects of WWII.
On Wednesday this week we went to the hall with our Reception buddies to see the boxes they had prepared for their exhibition. We loved seeing what they had filled them with and looking at how they had been decorated. All the children and parents had a lovely time and it was great to spend time together with RS!
Today we were very lucky to have a visit from Vicky from the Leeds United Foundation. She delivered a very important session covering important themes such as peer pressure, criminal responsibility, gangs and knife crime. The children enjoyed the session and learnt some important lessons which may help them with their decision making in the future.
As part of our art work this half term, we will be creating a piece of artwork using lino printing. The children made their designs last week which are inside by our local woodland environments. This afternoon they began cutting their designs into the lino. Don’t worry – we didn’t have too many accidents!
Today we had a great library session provided by Ms Whiteley. The children had to work their way around the library, interacting with and discussing various different poems that were dotted around the area. They worked together brilliantly and enjoyed themselves!
Our blog is back up and running in Year 6!
We have had a great start to the year and have been very busy doing all sorts of things!
On Wednesday we went on a local trip to the Seven Arches Aqueduct on the Meanwood Valley trail. Luckily, the weather was lovely and we were able to walk down to the woodland and learn lots about the nature present in the area, as well as the history of the aqueduct.
We also really enjoyed improving our map reading skills this week by learning about 6-figure grid references. Great fun!
We had a fantastic time this week on our trip to the Forbidden Corner! What a wonderful way to finish off the year!
Today we were in the art studio again continuing our final project. Many of the children have now finished printing their t-shirts and they are looking really effective. We also practised our modelling skills by sculpting a representation of ourselves using clay…
