In year 6 we have been learning about the life and work of two famous artists: Alberto Giacometti and Henry Moore.We have looked at the similarities and differences between the two. Children have produced sketches and clay models in a similar style.

ear 6 pupils have started off the term really well, especially in PE. The children have been taking part in fitness activities and challenging each other in different areas. 

2018-2019

May- We can Build It.

Year 6 had great fun this week building tents, gazebos and other shelters. They worked hard in teams and enjoyed problem solving to work out how the shelters went together. They are then going to use this knowledge of how the structures are constructed to create their own models of bird hides, using wood, paper and card.

March

We had a smashing time at this year’s World Book Day. The pupils of year 6 really outdid themselves with there was a large variety of fantastic costumes. With the ultimate winner dressing as famous author Jane Eyre. The children created books inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories using the ipads and we had an excellent version of ‘How the Wolf got its Howl’ created by pupils in Jupiter class.

February

On Wednesday 23^rd January, Year 6 embarked on their trip to the zoo. It was a cold day but that didn’t stop them, they still had a fabulous day. They managed to see lots of animals and carrying out some work on adaptations. Though out the day, the children discussed the conditions of the animals, their environments and the care that they were having. The day was excellent and the children immensely enjoyed the experience.   

December- Stadium Trips

Over the last few weeks, each child in year 6 was took part in the annual Year 6 visits to the stadiums that represent the house that they are in. These consist of Twickenham (The Home of Rugby), Lords (The Home of Cricket), Wimbledon (The Home of Tennis) and Wembley (The Home of Football). The children were all able to take part in stadium tours finding out many interesting facts about the venues. They were also able to take part in educational workshops and look around the museums finding out about the history of the sport. All the children behaved extremely well and were a credit to the school, we look forward to visiting again next year.

October

Earlier this half term, some year 6 pupils went on their annual residential trip to Blacklands Farm. They were away for two nights and over the three days took part in a range of activities including: crate staking, archery, den building and rock scrabbling. The pupils were a credit to school and a huge thanks go to the staff who supported this trip, who are looking forward to attending next week.
