Just some photos from last week. I hope it’s not too long until we’re all together again and we can end our time in Y6 properly.

Art & RE in Y6…March 16th
I promised you an update on the art we’ve been doing in Y6 to prepare for the Y6 Passover meal for children & their families which will, very sadly, now not take place. Nonetheless, the children worked with great skill and co-operation to produce an absolutely magnificent display. The likes of which I’ve never seen…… Read More
Trip to St Dominic’s …RE & Science in Y6…13th March
On Monday we went to visit St Dominic’s in Byker and learned about the work done there to support homeless people in Newcastle. We made cakes and biscuits which would be used in St Dominic’s cafe the following day. We had a nibble ourselves and jolly fine they were too. Then we set off for…… Read More
Art, RE and World Book Day in Y6…6th March
As promised, here are some examples of the art work Y6 pupils are producing for our Passover display. Spectacularly good, I’m sure you’ll agree. On Friday we celebrated World Book Day. It was Y6’s assembly and we reminded our audience (young and old) of some well-known and much-loved stories and performed a version of Jesus…… Read More
Y6 Art…or is it RE?…week 8…Feb 28th
Once the subject of a 1950s Hollywood blockbuster modestly entitled “The Greatest Book Ever Written”, and more recently brought to life by Dreamworks Studios’ “Prince of Egypt”, Y6 have been learning about the Old Testament story of the Exodus. This will culminate in the traditional Y6 Passover meal for pupils and their families. To get…… Read More
Geography in Y6…week 6…Feb 14th

Week 4 in Y6…Technology…31st Jan
This week’s challenge in Science was a technological one for the mighty brains of Year 6. Could they (with minimal help from the teacher) make that old fairground staple from yesteryear: a steady-hand tester. Not only did a bulb have to light whenever an unsteady hand caused the wand to touch the obstacle, but, simultaneously,…… Read More
The Keilty Challenge…Year 6…24th January
The Keilty Challenge has been a feature of Y6 from time immemorial. Points are awarded for many praiseworthy actions: kindness, brilliance, achievement, progress, exceptional intelligence, clever vocabulary etc. The class aim to earn – between them – over 32 points in a week. When this target was first met (a difficult enough feat) the agreed…… Read More
Science in Y6…Week 2…17th Jan
New year, new science topic. This week the intrepid Y6 scientists have been getting to grips with the intricacies of circuits, cells, switches and sockets as they have started a unit of work on electricity, arguably the most important invention ever in the history of the world.… Read More
Y6…10.1.2020 – Week 1
A very happy New Year to all our readers! Such a lot has been going on in Y6 since the last blog. We finished our science topic on Light by making periscopes and by investigating chromotography. Christmas then took over and the children worked hard on the Y5 & Y6 Christmas play entitled “A Very…… Read More
