This week sees the beginning of our Religious Education theme leading up to Christmas. 

This week, the children have started our latest Design Technology project which involves them working in groups of three to design and construct a WW2 tank which can propel a projectile the size of a marble using pneumatics. 

During World War Two, food was rationed and people had to take advantage of the ingredients they had in their households and ensure nothing went to waste.  In year 6, we used ingredients that would have been available at the time to produce some delicious Bread Pudding.  The children worked collectively, in teams of 15, to organise and share out the different jobs and roles needed to complete the task. They had a fantastic time getting their hands dirty!

It was great to see the children working together and many clearly enjoyed the fruits of their labour and have given us their verdict!

Year six had a brilliant day out at Bletchley Park today. 

This week, year 6 have had the opportunity to show their creative side.

This week in theme, the children in year 6 have been learning all about Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of Dunkirk, and discussing whether it was a triumph or defeat. They have also been starting to create their lighthouses for their topic of electricity and light.
