Collective Worship
Year 6 have been delivering our Collective Worships in class. The children have been using their oracy skills to present worships.
One of our themes was 'Unconditional Love'.
Reading
In Year 6, we love to read. Adventure awaits.
What book are you reading at the moment?
History
In History, we have been learning about what democracy is and how it has changed over the years. We have explored and researched back to the Middle Ages in 1066 through to today.
Collective Worship in Year 6
We celebrate time together each day by sharing our Collective Worship. An opportunity to think of God, his presence, learn about stories from the Bible and to reflect whilst all being together.
Year 6 have celebrated their Faith in Action by delivering a Collective Worship all about the first millennial Saint: Saint Carlos Acutis - the Patron Saint of the Internet.
Saint Carlo Acutis was a devout Catholic teenager and computer enthusiast who used his digital skills to document Eucharistic miracles, inspiring many with his faith before passing away at age 15 and becoming the first millennial saint.
History
Our History topic is all about the Suffragettes and the Suffrage Movement. Children have been using their reading skills and their research skills to find out about what life was like for women before the 20th century.
Did you know that women were treated like children and were seen as weak and incapable and not capable of making major life decisions! Boys and girls were treated differently: boys could learn maths, reading and writing, whereas girls had to learn how to cook, clean, needlework and how to look after the house. It was not a democratic society. Women were not even allowed to vote.
Faith in Action
Year 6 have carried out their Faith in Action by taking a moment today to think about Pope Leo as he prepares for his 70th birthday. They have designed and written birthday cards wishing him eternal love, hope, peace and joy. Children expressed their gratitude for his faithful leadership and guiding light.
RE
We have been learning all about God's love and care in RE. In small groups, children did freeze frames to show their understanding of love and care for others. We learned all about the parable of the prodigal son. A story about unconditional love and forgiveness.
PSHE -
In PHSE, we have been learning all about me. Thinking about how we are all unique and have different hopes and dreams.

Art
Year 6 have delved into their new art project exploring a range of different art styles along with different artists, such as Banksy and his street art, Jackson Pollock and his abstract splatter art as well as Salvador Dali and his surrealism style. We listened to music and explored how it made us feel. We used our pencils guided by the flow of the music. Adding colour allowed us to see how we react to the music and what story it shows. Bright, vivid colours were chosen to represent joy and happiness. We can’t wait to get involved and start gathering our own sketch pad work on our favourite art style and which artist inspires us.
English
Year 6 have been transfixed with our class novel, ‘The Nowhere Emporium’ this week! It has been so lovely to read the novel and be completely hooked by the storyline. Ask your child about what has been happening in the story, who Birdie might be and what magic has Mr Silver performed.
Harvesting fruit in our class orchard
As part of our Faith in Action, we have harvested fruit from our orchard. The apples and pears have shared amongst members of our class and used to make apple pies, cakes and other tasty treats.
