Term 3

Term 3 is set to be an exciting and enriching term for our class! The children will be exploring a range of fascinating topics, from learning all about the Tudors in History to planning and creating a three-course meal in Design and Technology. In Science, our focus is space and materials, and the children have already begun the term by working collaboratively to separate different materials into groups (without using their hands!) In DT, they have also started taste-testing to explore complementary flavours and develop their understanding of food combinations. Our History lessons will immerse the children in the life of Henry VIII and other significant figures of the Tudor period. To complement our learning, our class book this term is Treason by Berlie Doherty, which promises to spark thoughtful discussion and curiosity.

DT - Cooking

Term 2

This term, the children will embark on an exciting geography-focused topic all about The Alps. They will explore this fascinating mountain range, linking their learning to the book How to Survive Anywhere and using their knowledge to create informative texts in their English lessons. In science, the children will continue to study living, growing and changing, developing their understanding of how living things grow and adapt. Their design and technology project will challenge them to design and build creative playground structures, while in art, they will be inspired by the bold and expressive world of street art. In maths, the children will build on their knowledge of fractions, deepening their understanding through practical and problem-solving activities.

These are some of our shelters we made as we immersed ourselves into our class survial book:

Here are some of our playgrounds we made in D&T:

Term 1

Term 1 has been a fantastic start to the new school year! The children have settled wonderfully into their new class and have shown tremendous enthusiasm for learning. Year 6 began the term with an unforgettable adventure in Pencelli, where they challenged themselves and made us all incredibly proud. Our topic this term has been World War II, and the children have thoroughly enjoyed the workshops: trying on authentic uniforms and discovering what life was like during that period. In Science, they’ve been delving into the fascinating world of life cycles, while in DT they’ve displayed great creativity by designing and crafting their own waistcoats. Over in Art, they’ve been experimenting with digital techniques, producing imaginative and expressive pieces. The children has also been captivated by our book, Letters from the Lighthouse, writing thoughtful diary entries from the perspectives of different characters. It’s been a busy, exciting, and inspiring start to the year - well done, Red Kites!
