This week has been Anti-Bullying Week, so the children have been carefully considering different scenarios. On Tuesday, they debated the question “Is there such a thing as an innocent bystander when seeing someone being bullied?” It was very interesting to hear their viewpoints as they debated in front of the House of Commons! Yesterday, we […]
Well done, Year 6, for a beautiful class mass on Wednesday. Your reading, singing and participation was wonderful and you made me very proud. This week has been both Parliament Week and Judaism Week. For Parliament Week, we discussed the current political climate, then the children wrote about what issues are important to them and […]
We’ve come to the end of our first half term in Year 6, and once again we’ve had a week full of fantastic learning. As part of One World Week, the class has been taking part in lots of activities linked to Poland and its culture: writing poems about the Holocaust, making Wycinanki (Polish paper […]

In history this week, we learnt more about life on the Home Front. The children experienced the air raid siren going off then learnt about the necessity of rationing food. They wrote diary entries about their reactions to rationing, compared propaganda posters, then made their own. In science, we were learning about the smallest living […]
This afternoon in art, the class used coloured ink to paint onto their line self-portraits from a fortnight ago. Have a look at the resemblances below! In music, the children tried their hand at conducting the rest of the class, focusing on bringing groups in and controlling the dynamics (loud or soft). In this week’s […]
This week has been action-packed, including yesterday’s WW2-themed trip to the British Schools Museum in Hitchin. Thank you for the fantastic efforts with all the children’s costumes and props; they looked superb! Have a look at what we got up to: This morning we were lucky enough to be visited by Richard’s Reptile Roadshow, to […]
Another week has flown by in Year 6 and the children have been producing fantastic learning. This week’s RE focus has been on St Vincent de Paul, in recognition of his feast day today. We looked at how his example is being followed today, then discussed the big question: “How can you be a friend […]
Firstly, well done Year 6 for leading the assembly this morning and for spreading such an important message to the rest of the school. You showed yourselves to be true leaders of the school, and so I hope you will wear your leadership badges that you received this morning with pride. As Creation has been […]
There was a lot of excitement this afternoon as the Year 6s met their Reception learning partners for the first time! They spent their time getting to know each other and playing in the sunny outside learning area – a lovely way to end the week! We are very fortunate to have Mrs Burgess – […]

For reference and for those who were not able to attend, here is the powerpoint. Your child will receive the handouts […]
