As a class we discussed what we already knew and want to know about water and water sustainability.We then shared homework projects in the class. We also looked at what water was, where it was found on earth and the states of matter. We did some research on the states of matter and tested our knowledge by answering questions. After that, we learnt about the water cycle and completed a Kahoot to test our learning. In the afternoon, we created a piece of art showing the water cycle. Have a look at our work below!

Children walked into a blacked out classroom, while the blitz sirens and bombing sounds went off in the background. Then they listened to a radio version of Churchill’s speech.
As a class we discussed what we already know and want to know about The Blitz and The Battle of Britain. Children then shared their homework projects with the class. We then went through an overview of WWII learning about how and why the war started, as well as the key alliances and countries that were in conflict in the first few years of the war.
After this, the children then learned about The Blitz and the nature of the attacks and what it was like to be in London at the time. Finally, as a class we then created 3D paper cut outs of the famous RAF fighter jet:
The Supermarine Spitfire.

Launch day- 19.02.24
Our topic this term is ‘Urban and Rural areas’. We started the day by sharing our projects followed by defining what urban and rural meant. In pairs, we then researched various urban and rural areas and investigated their human and physical features. Using what we had learnt, we then designed our very own Paradise Island. We could decide whether we wanted it to have an urban or rural feel and thought about key physical and human features that we wanted to include. We drew, coloured and labelled our Island after which we shared them with each other!

Year 6 will be learning all about Ancient Greece and the Olympics and started launch day by discussing what they already knew and what they wanted to know about the topic. The children then took part in a sorting activity to create their own timelines of ancient civilisations. We then watched videos and learned more about Ancient Greece before children had time to create their own shields and armour. Finally year 6 took part in their own Olympic Sports events with Tamarind representing Athens and Lotus representing Sparta. The children enjoyed their day and were able to learn a lot about their new history topic.

They then discussed what they already knew and what they wanted to find out about Ancient Benin. They studied a range of artefacts and discussed what they thought they may have been used for. In the afternoon, Year 6 then made masks inspired by Benin masks worn by the Oba and other royalty.
