Today, year 6 visited Oakgrove Secondary School for their first taster of secondary style lesson and learning.
After a long walk, the children settled into maths problem solving activity completing lots of hand on tasks. The children’s learning zones were exceptionally high and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves!
Here’s some pictures of our day!
Year 6 have been welcomed back with an ignite for our new project ‘Nelson Mandela- Prison or Freedom’.
The children have spent the morning completing three different activities:
Firstly, the children have been spending the morning researching the countries of Africa, looking in particular at one of the countries and the physical and human features of that country using globes, atlas’ and websites.
They have also been learning about rotation, symmetry and transformation and using this knowledge and understanding about this to create their own African art!
Lastly, the children have been researching Nelson Mandela’s most famous quotes and creating posters using these quotes, which we hope to display down our year 6 corridor!
Have a look at some of our pictures:
This half term, Year 6 have been working on developing a website, which shows all of their knowledge about different worlds.
The websites have been amazing! Well done year 6!

Year 6 have had a fabulous, hour hands on maths session with ‘Explore Learning’.
Creating our own ‘Xbox’, got us really thinking and being creative with the nets of shapes.
We loved the session and can’t wait for another one!
This half term has been full of our children winning their ‘Strong and Powerful’ pins!
These children have shown excellent resilience to new challenges, leadership skills and qualities and have been working hard at managing their own emotions to ensure they continue to take big steps in their learning. Congratulations everyone!

Yamaha Music School visited Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 today for an assembly. Below is a letter offering a free lesson provided by them. Forms need to be returned by Monday 12th January.
After a morning of reading, maths and writing, year 6 were given an hour to carry on with their ignite ‘Lake Town’ building which they started yesterday.
The buildings, which they are making from wood, straws, paper and card , are being constructed at this moment. The children are deep in conversation about how to join their materials together and how to make their structure stronger so that they can continue to assemble the buildings as they had designed in their specifications.
Look at how they are coming along…
Welcome back 6b! I have really enjoyed hearing all about your Christmas and Christmas presents in our circle this morning!
Today we have been igniting our new project called ‘Different Worlds’.
Before Christmas we watched part of the first Hobbit film. In the second film, a new setting is introduced called Lake Town. For our ignite today, we have been designing and making Lake Town our own miniature, class Lake Town!
