• Year Group Focus—Year 6

  Fri 13 Mar 2026

  In history, our topic is WW2. This week, we looked at the use of propaganda and designed our own posters. We will be seeing some real life examples of posters when we go to the Imperial War Museum next week!

   

  In DT this term, we will be making model Anderson shelters. The children have been learning about Anderson shelters in History, and they are now applying this knowledge to design and create their own models.

   

  As part of this project, the children have been practising how to measure different lengths of wood accurately. They have also been learning how to use a saw safely to cut the wood for their structures.

   

  For the past few months, three year 6 children have been working with The Real Trust on a gifted and  talented programme. The children have really enjoyed working with children from other schools and    completed exciting and engaging tasks. Over the three sessions the children have written and recorded their own podcast, solved mysteries, researched and made their own creatures before making their own book based on their creature.
