‘Hello Yellow’ in Year 6

On Friday 9th October, we wore yellow for Mental Health day in support of Young Minds. In addition, we learnt about good and bad mental health and how this may look. We discussed what we can do if we are struggling and who we can talk to. Moreover, we looked at the different functions of our brain and how these are impacted through bad mental health.

 

Hello Yellow- Friday 9th October

 Hello Yellow – Friday 9th October

Wear yellow and help us show our support for young people’s mental health.

On Friday 9th October, we’re inviting our whole school community to wear yellow as we take part in Hello Yellow – a day dedicated to raising awareness, starting conversations and supporting young people’s mental health.

Mental health is something that can affect all of us. There are times when life can feel difficult, overwhelming or challenging and it isn’t always easy to know how to cope or who to talk to. For some young people, getting the right support at the right time can feel especially difficult.

Together, we can help change this.

By wearing yellow, you can help start conversations about mental health and remind young people that they are not alone, that it’s okay to talk and that support is available.

 Stand out. Start a conversation. Show your support.

Join us on Friday 9th October, wear something yellow!

Together, we can help create a school community where every young person feels heard, supported and valued.

Autumn Art

So far in Art, we have been looking at architecture of famous landmarks where we had a go at drawing them. In the following lesson, we then looked at landscapes and focused on foreground, middle ground and background before drawing them.

 

Autumn Term PE – Invasion Sports

In Year 6 PE, we have started the term by learning key skills in invasion sports. This includes passing, dribbling, pivoting, shooting and intercepting/defending. We will then transfer these skills into game play, where we will play small sided matches which will also improve our understanding of the sports and tactics, as well as positioning.

So far we have focused on the sports Basketball and Netball. We will then move on to Hockey and Tag Rugby.

Year 6 History – World War II

We started this unit of work by diving deep into the 20th Century and identifying the key events that happened between 1900-1999.

For WWII we have been learning about why World War was declared (and who by) as well as how this impacted on Britain. Our second lesson was about The Blitz – reflecting on the impact this had on residents in the big cities. Our most recent lesson was learning about why the process of evacuation was needed to protect children of the war – including air raids, shelters and gas masks.

Our Science Learning!

Our first lesson in science was all about Living and Non-Living things. We went out on a walk around our school grounds and identified some living and non-living things. We also went into detail of what organisms need to survive, learning the acronym of MRS GREN.

 

In addition we have been learning all about Classification. Today, we made classification keys on our tables, separating animals (both invertebrates and vertebrates).

Year 6 Production ‘The Wizard of Oz’

A BIG well done to our Year 6s for their performances in our end of year school production ‘The Wizard of Oz’ – they have worked so hard over the last few weeks, learning their lines, songs, dance moves and, for some, music notes. They did a tremendous job and should be proud of their hard work and efforts!

Year 6 Jump In

With the help of our PTA, we were able to give the year 6s an end of term trip out to Jump In.

The children had a great time, bouncing around and having fun!
