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.
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.
