This week, we assessed the children's progress in various subjects. The children have worked hard!
In science, they learned how fossils are made and how they provide evidence of past life forms.
In RE, this week, the children explored the concepts of charity and architecture and how they relate to different religions and cultures.
This week is Mental Health Week, a time to raise awareness around mental health issues. One of the key messages of this week is the importance of talking. Talking about how we feel, what we struggle with, and what we need, can help us cope better, connect with others, and access support.

This week, as part of their persuasion unit- in English, the children have written a persuasive speech, requesting entry to a new county. To develop the children's speaking and listening skills, they had the opportunity to share their persuasive speeches with class 9! There was a key focus on intonation, pronunciation and body language!
Class 9 gave the children in class 13, positive feedback about their written speeches and stated that if they were an official at the border, they would grant them entry in to that safe country.
Based on the children's feeback, from class 9, class 13 achieved their success criteria.
Well done class 13 !

In Science, this week the children have developed their knowledge of the function of oxygen in the body, They now know that Oxygen helps organisms grow, reproduce, and turn food into energy. They also know that humans get the oxygen they need by breathing through their nose and mouth into their lungs. Oxygen gives our cells the ability to break down food in order to get the energy we need to survive.

This week we looked at many ways on how we can always be safe on the internet.
Pupils recognised that although the internet is a fantastic resource, it also has some dangers. And remaining safe online is of great importance.
We started our session by discussing different games we played online and how we can remain both safe and respectful. Whilst reminding children to only play with friends and family who they know and trust, and to make parents/guardians aware of who they are playing with. It was a great opportunity for all of Year 6 pupils to engage in deep meaningful conversations about internet safety.
We also learnt how to be respectful to others online and to recognise what is healthy behaviour and unhealthy behaviour when playing online. We then presented our findings in our iPad, focusing on the kind of advice we would give to a individuals who are new to online gaming.

In Class 13, we have been creating posters for Safer Internet Day to spread awareness in the school. It has been a pleasure creating the posters and the children have enjoyed using their imagination on their Ipads. The posters contain information on how to stay safe on the internet and also how to avoid cyber bullying and what to do if your are being bullied on the internet.

This half term Year 6 have been learning all about refugees; we researched what a refugee is, how someone becomes one and how we can help them. The children showed great interest in this and produced a fantastic piece of writing to go alongside this. The children had written a persuasive piece of writing where they were trying to convince their audience to allow refugees to cross certain borders for their safety, health and well-being. it was great to see such fantastic ideas and sheer empathy towards those who are struggling - Well done Year 6!
We are hoping to carry out a fundraiser to support a local refugee charity known as Unity, who work alongside the Red Cross. Watch this space and we look forward to your continued support with such a worthy cause.
For Maths we worked collaboratively and used a range of co-operative learning techniques to solve questions relating to negative numbers.
In our science topic we are exoploring fossils, try to visit a library or museum to learn some more interesting facts.
Have a safe and great weekend,
Mrs Khalil
