Y6 HALF TERM 1

Welcome to the Year 6 blog of 2025/26. We are very much looking forward to making memories and showing you what we have been up to.

Badminton

We have started our PE modules with Badminton. This week, we have been learning how to serve and have practiced our hand to eye coordination skills with short rallies. We had a great time.

2D to 3D Art

In Art, we have been studying the Artist Lubaina Hamid. She creates 2D paintings and turns them into 3D sculptures. We have started upscaling our drawings of Egyptian Canopic Jars which we will then paint and decorate using facts about Ancient Egypt that we have researched. Watch this space for the finished product.

Maths Games Club

World Mental Health Day

We spent some time practising mindfulness in PSHE on World Mental Health Day and made some positive affirmation chatterboxes. It was a chance to slow down and immerse ourselves in the present moment!

Scratch Games

We have been learning about variables in games. We then designed our own games by choosing the artwork and creating algorithms.

The links to our games are below if you want to try them!

Microorganisms

Year 6 have been learning about microorganisms in science. Many microorganisms are made of just one single cell. We learnt about the difference between a fungus cell and a bacteria cell and we then designed our own and made them out of playdough!
