YEAR 6 BLOG

Last Christmas party in primary school…and they still strutted their stuff!  Merry Christmas everyone ⛄️

We had the best time watching A Christmas Carol at the Dukes Theatre in Lancaster consolidating out learning in English when we wrote a new chapter of the story and then we’re able to do a formal review of a theatre performance. Behaviour and attitudes were exemplary and I was incredibly proud of…

6B conducted an investigation in to if we changed the numbe of cells in a circuit, would it affect the brightness of a bulb.  After completing independent investigations, we decided to see how big a circuit we could make…very exciting!

We had a great day at Bolton Museum bringing our learning to life.  We learnt about the chronology and the mummification process amongst many other things.  Behaviour was impeccable and we were complimented on how well we did

As we couldn’t get outside for PE due to the rain, we combined our PE lesson with Science and learnt how to take and measure our heart rate, then observed how our heart rate changed after various periods of exercise. We concluded that doing exercise for a prolonged period of time increased our…

In Year 6 this week, 6B have started their swimming lessons at Fulwood Leisure Centre.

I had the privilege of joining the class on their first session on Wednesday and I was blown away by the bravery of some of the children who had never stepped foot in a pool before.

On Wednesday, the whole school attended the first Mass of the year.

It was a proud day for some of the members of Year 6 as they performed admirably in helping Mrs McCaul set up church ready for us and then giving readings and performing the bidding prayers.

The rest of Year 6 were…

It has been a great week back at school and we have loved being in Year 6.

We have enjoyed being able to sit on benches during our assemblies, being given more responsibilities around school and some of the stunning starts to our learning.

In RE this week we went outside onto the…

Year 6 have really enjoyed bringing our History topic to life and experiencing what life was actually like for the cotton mill workers.  The children experienced weaving along with a very informative tour of the mill and description of each job role within the factory.  The children’s behaviour…
