Week 6, we continued to practise our clap and stomp routines in P.E — everyone worked brilliantly to stay in time and perform with energy! In Computing, we completed an Internet Scavenger Hunt to help us understand how to use search engines efficiently. Pupils learned how to choose good keywords, check reliable sources, and find information quickly. It’s been a fun and productive week of learning and teamwork!
Week 5, the class took part in an engaging reenactment of the Battle of Britain, helping them to understand why Britain was successful, particularly the importance of radar in detecting enemy aircraft. We also explored the Blitz, discussing its impact on civilians, and the students plotted the major cities that were bombed between 1940–1941 on a map.
This week has been another busy and exciting one in Year 6! In music, the recorders made their return. We practised the notes B, A, and G, and even played Three Note Jam. In history, we combined our geography skills to locate the Allied and Axis countries during World War II. In maths, we played a game to deepen our understanding of adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers. In computing, we explored how the internet really works by sending ‘data packet’ to each other and comparing which connection is more reliable: Wi-Fi, DSL, or cable. Finally, in science, we investigated reflection, discovering why some surfaces are more reflective than others. Our challenge was to use mirrors to guide light around a maze — a real test of teamwork and problem-solving!.
Week 3, we continued our fitness in PE - focusing on agility and how this benefits many sports.
Week 2, some of us had bikeability learning how to be safe whilst on our bikes. The rest of us enjoyed challenging maths investigations and lego STEM activities
Week 1, after learning about circles we made our own circle patterns using compasses.
