Hello,
Another very busy week in UKS2! I think we will be saying this until the end of term now...
On Monday and Tuesday Year 6 completed some pedestrian training which involved a classroom workshop and some practical road crossing as they planned a safe route to Benton Park. They have also been busy starting to learn songs for their upcoming leavers assembly!
Year 5 have been completing some assessments and have worked incredibly hard to show how much progress they have made this year.
On Thursday, we had the whole school sports day where the children competed in various different races to earn points for their houses. Thankfully the weather was kind to us (for once!) this year.
In amongst all of this, we have been continuing with the rest of our learning and have produced some great work this week on the similarities and differences between Athens and Sparta as part of our Ancient Greece topic. We have also modelled the Solar System using fruit (which we then enjoyed eating in an art lesson on Friday!) to give a visual representation of the different sizes of the planets in our science topic, Earth and Space.
Have a look at some of our highlights of the week below:
Have a great weekend!
Miss Bairstow :)

Hello!
This week Y6 have been busy completing their Bikeability training. Most children completed Level 1 and Level 2 and learned how to safely ride their bikes on the roads around school.
In English, we have started writing about the characters of Perseus and Medusa in preparation for writing our Greek myths.
In maths, Mrs Trotter’s group have been completing different transition maths activities while Miss Bairstow’s group have been continuing their work on shape.
Next week, Y6 have pedestrian training on Monday and Tuesday morning. Please make sure your child brings a coat!
Have a great weekend!
Miss Bairstow :-)

Hello,
We have had a great first week back. The highlight of our week was our Ancient Greece workshop on Wednesday where we listened to a retelling and joined in acting out the Greek myth, Perseus and Medusa. This will be really helpful in our English work over the next few weeks as we will be writing our own versions of this myth.
Y6 Leavers Hoodies
Hoodies can now be ordered using the following link:
Next week is a busy week too with Y6 Bikeability taking place. All children will be bringing home a slip today detailing which days they will need to come dressed appropriately and bring their bikes/helmets if providing their own.
Have a lovely weekend :)
