Another week has flown by in Year 6, with more fantastic learning from the class. Maths has seen them solving lots of percentages problems, whilst in this week’s Science lesson, the children worked in groups to prove that light travels in straight lines: In English, we started our new WW2 novel called The Children of the […]
This week has been anti-bullying week and so yesterday the children role-played cyber-bullying scenarios, after which we discussed the best course of action if we were to find ourselves in similar circumstances. It was reassuring to hear that the children understood the importance of reporting cyberbullying incidents to a trusted adult, rather than retaliating. Year […]
This week we began our History topic for this half term: Potters Bar at War. After experiencing an air raid, we looked at the chronology from the lead-up to World War One all the way to the outbreak of World War Two. We’re looking forward to seeing, in the coming weeks, how these two wars […]
It has been a special week back for Year 6, as on Wednesday we were lucky enough to celebrate our class Mass with Fr Shaun on the theme of Remembrance. It was a beautiful Mass, with fantastic answers given by the children during the Homily. Thank you to those who read so well and to […]
Happy Harvest Festival! Our Fairtrade Group led us in an act of worship this morning, in which the class brought forward their generous donations of food. Also this week, the Liturgy Group has been leading us the Rosary. For One World Week, Year 6 has been finding out all about the Democratic Republic of Congo. […]

The main focus this week has been to finish the drafting and editing of the children’s short stories. The class has worked so hard ensuring their stories are the best they can be, and I am looking forward to reading the finished pieces which will go towards their Year 6 writing portfolios. In Maths, the […]
This week, Year 6 started writing their narratives based on the whole-school text, River Story. Each day, they have been excited to write the next section to their story, so I am looking forward to reading them once they have been edited and written up in neat next week. This has linked to our geography […]
This week has been Healthy Eating Week and so we have been looking at the different aspects of living healthily: Eat More Wholegrains Vary Your Veg Drink Plenty Move More Be Mind Kind Here are the Year 6s comparing fibre content in wholegrain vs non-wholegrain carbohydrates: And here they are working different parts of the […]
In Science this week, we continued learning about the human body by finding out about what blood consists of and the functions of the different components. The children made their own blood by using red beans as the red blood cells, dried peas as the white blood cells, rice and platelets and oil as plasma. […]
We have been out enjoying the sun this week, with lots of outdoor science learning. The children investigated how different exercise affected their heart rate, and also made the most of the allotment area and investigated “What has been eating our plants?” In PE, we have been getting our sweat on and improving our stamina […]
