Remembrance Day
On Monday 11th and Tuesday 12th November, Year 6 shared their Remembrance Day assembly with parents, carers, family and children from Y1,2,3,4 and 5.
This year is the 150th anniversary of Sir Winston Churchill's birth and Y6 interleaved their performance with his words of inspiration and encouragement that helped the Nation win the war.
Tracy Harding composed two original songs for the assembly. 'High Flight' based on the poem by John Gillespie Magee, took the audience from the fierce battle in the skies during the Battle of Britain to the silence high above the clouds where the plea for war to end could be heard. 'Churchill's Roar' was a powerful song in which the students celebrated his ability to speak to and inspire the Nation.
The Y6 performance was featured in the Tavistock Times.
Well done Y6 for creating a very moving and fitting memorial to all of those brave men and women who have lost their lives in conflict.
HAPPY DIWALI!
As part of their learning about the Hindu faith, Year 6 learnt all about the Festival of Light and made little representations of Divas.
Trip to The Box
We had an interesting and varied experience at The Box in Plymouth. We brought our learning about WW2 to a close through carrying out investigations using primary sources and using them to identify real people who had lived and worked in the City during WW2.
We were also able to kick-start our new learning in Science on Evolution and Inheritance. We had the chance to get to know Mildred the Mammoth and we explored all the other wonders in the pre-history gallery.
DID YOU KNOW....Mammoth remains have been found that prove that they were still alive during the Egyptian period!!
WW2 Homework Project
The Year 6 team were very impressed with the standard and effort put into the homework projects for this term.
Children chose to tell the story of a family member who had been involved in WW2 or to research the story of everyday heroes that they wanted to share (ranging from Dame Vera Lynn to Douglas Bader).
By far the most touching and heart-felt projects were those telling the stories of great and even great-great grandads and grandmothers who played their part in the Second World War.
Thank you for all of your hard work Year 6.
DT FOOD TECHNOLOGY
We had a lot of fun and a lot of funny faces pulled when Year 6 had the chance to taste different fruits and vegetables, herbs and spices from around the world. The next step in our DT journey will be to design and make seasonal recipes ... hearty soup and ginger bread men, here we come!
AUTUMN 2 GARDEN DAY
We had a fun Garden Day on Wednesday!
We built shelters, tasted our soup and created wonderful Christmas cards to send to Ukraine.
Our favourite part was tasting the soup we made in DT! We have included some photos of making the soup and Garden Day below.
