Happy New Year! I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas.
This week, the class have come back with a great attitude. They are positive, hard-working and eager to learn more, which is the perfect attitude for a Year 6 class! Only 6 months left of primary school now!
Here are some photographs of their DT project of making bridges, which they did before Christmas.
25th November update

Lots of updates this week!
First of all, an update from last week! For antibullying week, the children helped promote the 'reach out' campaign that encourages people to reach out to someone they trust if they need support as well as promoting the idea that people should 'reach out' to someone they may feel is being bullied. To illustrate the 'reach out' campaign, the children wrote the names of people they can reach out to and then took photographs of them 'reaching out'.
This week, half the class went on the bus to Huddersfield town centre to visit the Sikh Gurdwara with Mrs Kendal and Mrs Johnson to bring their RE learning to life.
Also this week, the children set out in science to disprove the statement, 'your heart rate never changes.' They did this by designing their own exercise routine and then taking their pulse at different points.

Another busy week completed in Year 6. We have learnt about the area of triangles and parallelograms in maths. We have finished our Robinwood writing topic in English with an explanation text. In science, the children have looked at the structure and function of the heart. Next week, they will be completing an enquiry to see what affects heart rate. In history, the children have looked at some reasons why the Allies achieved victory in Europe in 1945.
Also, we had a visit from Counsellor Hogley and the school government planted a tree that was gifted to us to celebrate the Queen's platinum jubilee. The planting activity seems even more poignant now that the Queen has passed. Here is a picture of some of the Year 6 school government members as well as the competition winners who designed a poster to commemorate the jubilee.

As today was Remembrance Day, the whole school took part in a two-minute silence in the playground at 11am. I was really impressed with how Year 6 conducted themselves.
Also this week, we have continued looking at World War Two in history. Learning about it on Remembrance Day added to its importance, I think. We have also looked at the circulatory system in science. The children became blood cells and the classroom became the blood vessels. The children travelled between the heart, the lungs (where they 'picked up' some oxygen) and the rest of the body (where they 'dropped off' the oxygen!). I tried to get some photographs that showed what they were doing, but it just looks like they were walking around the classroom, as you can see below!
Have a lovely weekend!
