Year 6 - Summer 2 - Week 2

Date: 14th Jun 2024 @ 8:19am

A fun-filled week in Year 6!

On Monday, the children had an ‘Art Day’, where they focused on caricatures. They created many different faces - using different techniques and styles – including celebrities, themselves and their friends. This was all leading to a ‘top secret’ project in the afternoon, which we cannot share on the blog! You can check out Twitter / X for some of the excellent celebrity caricatures created earlier in the day.

Tuesday and Wednesday saw the return of our mathematical / thinking project, ‘Washing Machine Madness’! Buying, selling, designing and marketing skills were all required for this task and once again, the children didn’t disappoint! There was lots of creative thinking as they adapted to the constantly changing financial market, negotiated prices and debated how to distribute resources. Well done, Year 6!

We also had several visitors / workshops this week to enhance our curriculum. On Wednesday afternoon, the children had a very informative Zoom session with Merseyside Police regarding online safety. They were also visited by the school nurse, who spoke to them about managing worries. Finally, we were treated to an incredible Music assembly with Rocksteady Music School, which even saw some of our teachers forming a band.

In anticipation for the rest of the children’s final half-term of primary school, we have also discussed our upcoming Alton Towers trip and how the day will look. We have also started thinking about the leavers’ production, but again…we’re trying to keep this a secret!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
