Autumn 1

Robinwood

At the start of the school year we were lucky enough to go on a residential trip to Robinwood. Year 6 took part in a wide range of activities from 'team building' escape rooms to high and fast ziplines, and even raft building on the lake.

VIKINGS

During the Autumn 1, Year 6 learnt all about the Vikings; where they lived, what they did and how they came to be known as the strong army they were. We researched ancient artefacts from the time and had a Viking visitor who came to see us. He taught us how to make Viking pottery and even an old Viking board game.

Autumn 2

 Light

Year 6 investigated light; the way it moves and the importance of it to everyday life. They looked at the different sources of light and how, when it passes through a prism, we can see the spectrum of what light is made of and how it also refracts when passing through water.

Whitby

Year 6 researched the coastal town of Whitby and its rich history. We looked at maps of Whitby and learnt the meaning of what the symbols mean for places of interest. We also looked at the River Esk and what it means for the town and how the town is built around it to work in tandem. 

Spring 1 

 Electricity

Year 6 looked at what it takes to make a complete circuit and how to draw circuit diagrams using official electrical symbols. They also looked at the meaning of volts, current and resistance and how if these vary their electrical circuits would too. We also made our very own dimmer switches using an everyday classroom item- a pencil!

The Secret Garden

Year 6 took part in a whole school text of the secret garden. We read and watched versions of the story to get a deep understanding of the themes and messages around the story. We then went on to write our own version of entering a secret garden. We were also lucky enough to watch a live performance of the show and after have a workshop with the actors, discussing what goes on back stage behind and what it takes to put on a show like that.

Homework 

Parents and Carers often ask how they can further support their child at home. With this in mind, we have a list of websites that are really useful in helping your children practice skills taught in class. 

Reading regularly, practicing timetables and using SATS revision guides are all supportive ways you can prepare your child for secondary school.
