In science, Year 6 are looking at Electricity. Last week, we had a recap on the vocabulary and knowledge that was learnt previously and this week the children created a circuit and then learnt how to draw these using appropriate scientific symbols.

At the beginning of this term, Year 6 have been focusing their writing on the short film ‘Beyond the Lines’. In order for the children to get a sense of what it would have been like in the boats on the D-Day Landings, we completed some drama based on this scene.

Year 6 were chosen to lead our first Church service of 2022.

Happy New Year and welcome to Term 3!  We hope that you have had a lovely Christmas and are ready for a busy term ahead.

Please find attached the overview for the term and the KIRFs that the children will be learning.

As always, if you have any questions, please speak to a member of the year 6 team.

Topic Overview Term 3

Y6 KIRFs T3

The children made Christingles in preparation for the Christingle service at the end of term.

We learned that the orange represents the world; the red ribbon represents Jesus’ blood; the cocktail sticks represent the 4 seasons and points on the compass; the sweets and raisins represent the fruits of the spirit, and the candle represents Jesus as the light of the world.

Year 6 made phone cases out of felt.  The children carried out some research and learned different stitches such as back stitch, running stitch and blanket stitch.  They then created their designs and transformed these into finished products.

Year 6 enjoyed their visit to church to celebrate St. Nicholas Day on 6th December.  There we sang ‘When Santa Go Stuck Up the Chimney’ and learned more about the history of St. Nicholas.  A child Bishop was also selected.
