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.

They also took part in the school Christmas cracker where they sang 'Rockin around the Christmas tree.'

Hi Everyone,
We have been worked hard this half term getting ready for our SAT's. As well as working hard we have also been showing our creative side by learning some fabulous dance skills (You will have to wait to see the performance) and we have made our own version of 'We Don't About Bruno' in music.
We have added a few of photos of our trip to Robinwood.

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

Hello,
This week Year 6 have been completing their Year 6 assessments. They have worked really hard and shown a very strong commitment towards them.
For our writing this week, the children have focused on a book called 'War Diaries' which is a compilation of various diaries from individuals during the Second World War. The children have had a task to create their own version of a 'war diary' and have impressed with their level of creativity and writing. We hope to continue and add further writing in our diaries next week.
Lastly, we are really impressed with the high number of children who have attended the booster sessions after school - Well done to all Year 6 pupils, keep it up!
Have a safe and lovely weekend all,
Mrs Khalil and Mr Bottomley

What an amazing week we have had in Year 6. We have been reading the book the Harmonica in class and have been using the text to produce some descriptive writing. This has not been easy as we had to understand the hardships and suffering that the Jewish people had to live through during the Second World War.
In Maths we have been looking at Algebra. Can anyone solve this equation?
5x+10 = 2x+31
The highlight of our week has been when we had our Read, Achieve, Succed day. We loved the reading activities and we also got the opportunity to choose a book from Madeline Lindley. Thank you to the Harmony Trust for making this happen.

What a fantastic week of learning we have had in Year 6!
This week we have been learning all about fractions, decimal and percentages. The children have used their previous` knowledge of fractions, decimals and percentages to find equivalences and work out fractions of amounts.
For our English session, we focused on a text called 'The Harmonica' and collectively wrote a playscript. The children identified themes of a playscript, wrote thier own versions and had the opportunity to act out their scripts.
During our science session, we researched adaptations and created our own animal, thinking about what the animal would like and how it would behave in order to survive and adapt.
Have a lovely weekend.

What a lovely start to the term, the children are incredibly enthusiastic and are ready for an extremely important year of learning.
This week both Year 6 classes have settled in well, they have shown great maturity with their learning and behaviour.
We have thoroughly enjoyed reading our class book ' Who let the Gods Out' and have produced some fantastic character descriptions and diary entries to support their understanding of the book.
In maths this week we have been looking at the four operations and have used our problem solving skills to find the answers - This was a great opportunity for children to showcase their ' Be an expert learner' pledge point, as they really were experts!
Well done Year 6!

Year 6 have worked hard in completing their rising stars this week and have been very pleased with how they have done. The have also started filming their leavers assembly and have been reflecting on their year. We have thought about what we have enjoyed, what we have learnt and then though about what we want to achieve next year.

This week year 6 have been imaging they are Shackleton and writing in his diary. We thought about how we can make our writing less formal than last week using words like lads, mates and graft. We have done some brilliant Graffiti art, using an online graffiti generator. Both Year 6 classes have now taken part in a football tournament, which they very much enjoyed.
