Year 6 news
Fri 10 Mar 2023This week, Y6 visited the National Holocaust Centre. We learnt more about the Holocaust and what life was like for Jewish people before and during WW2, following 'Leo's journey' and listening to an interview with a survivor, who came to England on Kinder transport. The children were polite and respectful and they answered lots of questions. In maths, we have started a zoo-themed project, which will result in the children designing their own zoo! Everyone is really looking forward to our trip next week.

Year 5 News
Fri 03 Mar 2023It has been a busty week in Year 5. We have been learning about perimeter in maths, calculating missing measurements of shapes and their perimeter. In English, we have been writing our non-chronological reports about rainforests and learning about how important they are to the world. On Thursday, it was World Book Day and everyone made a book about an animal that can be found in a zoo. Finding out different facts about animals around the world has been fascinating. Next week, we are looking going to be focusing even more around zoos as we prepare for our next Albany Adventure to Twycross Zoo!

Year 6 News
Fri 03 Mar 2023To celebrate world book day, Y6 wrote their own zoo-themed stories, based on the short story of 'Hullabaloo at the zoo.' We thought about what the zoo animals might get up to once the zoo is closed. There were so many brilliant ideas such as Hawaiian themed parties and playing sports. This week, we had our first basketball lesson with Mr Riley, where we focused on dribbling, passing and using the space effectively. In Humanities, we discussed the pros and cons of evacuation during World War 2 and we thought about how life would have changed for evacuees. Every child has been given a set of revision books, to use at home in preparation for SATs and it has been great to see that they are already being used. Keep up the great work!
We are really looking forward to our trip to the Holocaust Centre next week too.

Year 6 News
Fri 24 Feb 2023It has been lovely to see all of the children back in school this week. In English, we have been discovering how Alan Turing and his team cracked the enigma machine, resulting in messages being decoded. We held a debate, sharing our thoughts on whether it was the correct decision to allow attacks to happen, knowing that they were aware of what was happening. We will be writing our balanced arguments next week.
