Y6 Crucial Crew!

23rd March 2022Rebecca Knowles

Y6 visited the Lifewise Centre today to participate in the Crucial Crew programme. The Lifewise Centre provides the children with essential knowledge and skills to be able to keep safe in the local community.

Some of the different scenarios included road safety, transport safety, fire safety and a mock trial in a Magistrates’ Court! All of the scenarios are taught by volunteering experts from South Yorkshire Police, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue and the South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership.

The children participated in all of the scenarios showing real maturity and thoughtfulness – well done guys 🙂

Y6 Family Learning

22nd March 2022Rebecca Knowles

We had a lovely afternoon welcoming parents back in to school for family learning after such a long time!

We created posters in the style of Keith Haring to promote looking after out planet which links nicely to our expedition ‘How can we help the world we live in?’

There were some really positive finished posters!

We then had a very competitive game of Kahoot all about rainforests – I was really impressed with some of the answers! A huge well done to Jaiden and his dad for winning! Closely followed by Lexi, Lilly and her mum! Well done guys!

Thank you to all of the adults that came to join in with our learning! We hope you had fun!

Year 6 have really been enjoying making their wooden photo frames to showcase their artwork! I am so impressed with the skills and team work that has been shown. Everyone has been so careful and responsible around the tools and were are in the process of creating some beautiful frames!

We still have lots more to make so watch out for more photographs!

Y6 are researchers!

15th March 2022Rebecca Knowles

As part of our English cycle we completed our reading lesson today which involved researching and retrieving information from some given websites.

In particular, we were looking at poison dart frogs, orangutans and tigers – did you know these animals are endangered?

Look out for our upcoming art work and speeches which will involve these animals!

Celebrating Jaiden! 🥷

Jaiden was a finalist in his first ever martial arts competition in 4 areas: sparring, grappling, forms and sports swords.

Jaiden came a fantastic 2nd place in sparring, grappling and forms but he came an amazing first place in sports swords!

Well done, Jaiden! We are super proud of you!
