Shakespearean Sonnets

This week in their English lessons, Year 6 have been writing their own Shakespearean Sonnets. While this may sound easy as each sonnet only has 14 lines, it is a difficult challenge to create the correct syllable and rhyming pattern. The children showed great resilience and are very proud of their final poems.

Reading Buddies

Each week, Year 6 visits the reception class to share a book with their reading buddy. It is a wonderful opportunity to share a love of reading and develop positive relationships between the oldest and youngest in our school community.

Agony Aunt Letters

In their English lessons, Year 6 have been focussing on the story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. They have written an ‘Agony Aunt’ letter, imagining that they are Juliet after Romeo’s marriage proposal. They really got into character and made some brilliant language choices to demonstrate Juliet’s dilemma!

Making Simple Circuits

Year 6M have been creating simple series circuits in their science lessons. They have experimented with how to make a bulb light, a motor spin and a buzzer make a sound. They also looked at adding more than one bulb and only using one cell. They showed excellent teamwork skills and problem-solving skills too!

Our School Mission Statement

Year 6 have begun their year by thinking about our school mission statement. They have reflected on the meaning of Isaiah 43:1 and have written a letter to a friend, explaining what these words mean to them.
