Year 6 News
Thu 21 May 2026This week, in RE, we have been learning about religions in our local area and how people can be more tolerant towards others. The children were really thoughtful and they were eager to share their thoughts and opinions about treating others fairly. We have also completed our Changing Me unit in PSHE, where we discussed the changes to our bodies during puberty. We also thought about what makes a positive and respectful relationship. The children asked great questions too.
We hope you have a brilliant half term!

In Science, we have bee making circuits and testing materials to see if they are electrical conductors or electrical insulators and in Topic, we have looked at who ruled after the Anglo-Saxon and Viking era and discussed who we felt had the strongest claim to the throne!

Thu 21 May 2026This week has been a little bit different. We have worked through our R.E topic all week in the afternoons looking a different places of worship for different religions. In the mornings we have covered our changing me topics which the children have been very interested in and also very sensible during some grown up lesson material. We have continued with P.E, learning cricket with Mr Spencer and of course we had our last Spanish lesson in year three with Senora Cress. Our Fairtrade unit has come to an end with the children showing some real understanding when completing their end of unit assessment. Enjoy the predicted good weather over half term everyone and we’ll see you refreshed all in a week.
