Spring Term message from Mr Swift:
Welcome back everyone and I hope you have had a wonderful start to 2025! This term we are as busy as ever in Year 6 with lots of new and exciting learning across the whole curriculum. Our main learning will be centred around 'Frozen Kingdoms' and will be a Geography based topic, with history links later in the unit. We will work with local groups to ensure that the children see the impact of tourism in their locality and aim to visit the beach to complete some environmental art work using scavenged materials. In addition to this will be visiting St Thomas' Church as part of our learning in RE and the Church's link to Eucharist.
Please find below the list of useful documents to support your child in their learning this term. Thank you for all your support and hard work and we hope to have another busy and successful term ahead.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Testing Bridges
Posted: Jan 24, 2025 by: year6 teacher (R.Swift) on: Year 6 Blog
This week, Year 6 have been experimenting using paper, changing the shape, size and thickness to compare strength. We worked collaboratively in groups to test various conditions to see which bridge could hold the most weight. We kept this fair by using the same cubes and same specifications on our materials.
