Bonjour, c'est la Sixienne Classe!

Do you like our French version of Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes? We've been all about the different body parts in our French lessons so what better song to choose than this?!

We have moved onto the final layers of our prints! Before this lesson, we had designed our prints, created a simple print of the outline in one colour, and pushed down patterns and sections of our tiles for the second. By designing and pushing down our backgrounds on the polytiles, we are adding…

In Year 6, we have been working in small groups when researching a pilgrimage from one of the key faiths: Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Islam and Hinduism. They have worked hard to gather information and record their findings in an attractive and informative poster before presenting them to the…

We went for a walk in our local area today. We discovered that some parts were quite busy whilst other areas were very quiet. We spotted lots of facilities to help the people in our local area, such as shops, pubs, a petrol station, playing field.....

We have been looking at some old toys and the different materials used. This was a metal tractor and a wooden truck. Thank you to our wonderful parents for bringing in old toys and asking grandparents what they played with. 

Year 6 are enjoying learning new skills in Knitting Club. Thank you to Miss Goddard, one of our school governors, for her time (and patience!) in running the group.
