Year 6

2022-2023

March

Anthony Glenn, the one man show, was with Year 6 to teach them the story of Macbeth as a hook in to their next Talk for Writing unit.

January

The children of year 6 had the opportunity to explore some community services that are available to them. The workshops consisted of a 10 minute interactive discussion based around a particular service. The children had to complete each workshop and answer questions to collect points as a group. 

The workshops were about:

  • ​Police force
  • Fire brigade
  • Water safety
  • Gangs
  • TFL
  • Social media
  • Newham recycling ​  
At the end of the full session, the points were counted and a winning group received medals. 
 

October 

In Literacy, year 6 have been focusing on sensory poetry. As our unit for the term is about Oliver Twist, we decided to compare Victorian London to modern London. 
We then created a sensory poem all about modern London. 
Here is a poem by Kofi in year 6.

Heart Dissection Workshop​

Year 6 children had the opportunity to learn about the structure of the heart but dissecting a real lamb’s heart!  Despite being initially a little squeamish, all the children soon got stuck in and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  They used their hands and forceps to investigate the different parts and texture of the heart.
