We have really enjoyed and been hugely moved by hearing some of the children's family stories from WWI. We've also been amazed at some of the artefacts that the children have been able to bring in. Scroll down to see some photographs. Thank you so much for your contributions which have really helped the children to engage and connect with our local history topic.
Details of the homework for the Spring term are below.

This week, Year 6 welcomed James Riley, a former probation officer, into school for the first of four daily workshops. He runs the Get Away 'n' Get Safe Prevention Programme with the aim to educate, inspire and empower young people to take control of their future by rejecting the gang lifestyle.
In the three sessions, James inspires Year 6 with empowering messages to make good choices & shows examples of the consequences of gang membership. Key messages are 'Be brave and confident to make the right choice' and 'Make good choices, don't have regrets'.
James shares a number of key messages with the children and challenges them to remember them. Our most important tool is our brain to help us to think carefully to make the right choices. It is better to walk alone than be in a crowd going in the wrong direction. Well done to the chocolate orange winners for being brave and remembering.

Photos from our Y6 Sports Day
From 19th – 21st April, the Year 6 children went on their residential to PGL Boreatton in Shropshire.
We conquered our fears and improved our skills by taking part in a whole range of activities such as canoeing, orienteering, problem solving, shooting, abseiling, trapeze and giant swing. The PGL staff were amazing and encouraged us to do things we never thought possible.
Our days were action-packed and there was even entertainment in the evening. On one night we played a giant game of Cluedo and on the other we sang songs around the campfire.
The highlight for some people was the amazing food. Every morning, we were treated to a full cooked breakfast and at lunchtimes and evenings there was always lots to choose from.
We stayed in wooden cabins with our friends. Once we decided who was sleeping on the top bunk, we all got on like a house on fire.
After three days, it was time to come home and there was a lot of snoring on the coaches. We had a fantastic time and would like to thank all the teachers and teaching assistants who came with us.
Home learning work was set for Year 6 on Microsoft Teams during lockdowns and isolations. Please watch this video if you need a reminder about how to use it.
