Autumn Term message from Mr Swift:
Welcome to the new year everyone! I hope you have had a wonderful summer break and are ready to start Year 6.
Routines and expectations are being embedded throughout the early part of this half-term and the children have demonstrated that they are ready to learn and make progress this year.
This half term is as busy as ever! Our topic for this term is 'Britain at War' and the children will have the opportunity to explore the role Britain played in both World Wars, as well as the significant impact these events had upon our world today. To supplement this, we will go on a class trip where children can take part in an interactive experience and learn from experts. We will also be on our Year 6 Residential to Borwick Hall and taking part in all sorts of wonderful activities, whilst building our resilience, teamwork and communication skills.
Please follow the links below for more guidance on this term.
If you need any help or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Y6 - Bridge designers, architects and builders!
Posted: Feb 15, 2024 by: L Walton (L.Walton) on: Year 6 Blog
Over the past few weeks Y6 have been taking part in a project all about bridges in their Design and Technology lessons. We have been researching, comparing and discussing different types of bridges. We have been thinking about why and where they are used. Y6 had to design a prototype and build a bridge of their choice. They tested it's effectiveness (strength) by seeing how many coins it could hold. Great investigating Y6! Challenge - how many famous bridge designers do you know?
