Home learning work

Come and explore our classroom!

Our classroom immerses us in our topic and we'd love for you to explore all our work and our fantastic projects that all of you have made at home!

As we started the second half term, Year 6 held a topic day about the evacuation of children during the Second World War. Children dressed up as evacuated children and were given a letter telling them they would be evacuated and where to. Children then worked together to find out all about the place they were evacuated and prepare a presentation to show the whole class.

Remembrance Day is an important part of our World War topic. Even though we spent it in isolation, children created their own art based on the design of the poppy. We also shared a 2 minute silence over Microsoft Team before exploring the causes that lead to the end of the war.

For Anti-Bullying week Year 6 looked at the issues surrounding Cyber Bullying and during our time in self isolation we created posters promoting the message of anti-bullying.
