Yr 6 during Maths Week

During Maths Week Year 6 completed many activities all based around ‘Talk for Maths’ where children were able to develop mathematical language, through speaking and listening activities. Children completed a range of problem solving tasks, looked at profits, pricing, budgeting and created canvas artwork and bracelets (with a mathematical concept) to sell at the St.Clement’s Charity Fundraiser at the end of the week.

As this week was also Christian Aid and Islamic Relief Week, we also completed research on the both of the charities and the great work they do all over the world.

Take a look at all our hard work and the fun we had below.

Year 6 – World War Two themed trip to Coventry Museum

On Tuesday, Year 6 went on a trip to the Coventry Museum. When we arrived at our location, we entered the museum which was filled with amazing facts about World War Two. We saw actual artefacts which were used during Word War Two and luckily a selection of our class members were given the opportunity to try some of the uniforms on and use some of the equipments. We were also fortunate enough to visit a air raid shelter which was located in the museum, which was used during the Blitz in World War Two. The children found this experience especially exciting as it helped them to understand what some of the children during WWII went through.

In addition to this, Year 6 were given the opportunity to explore transport which was used during WWII and recieved a talk by one of the museum staff on the evacuee experience of children during World War Two. Some children were given the opportunity to dress up in actual World War Two clothes and wore additional accessories which an evacuee would have used during this period (for example gas masks, name tags, etc).

Overall the children thoroughly enjoyed their visit and here are some pictures that captured their experience.

Year 6 celebrating British Values Day, The Queen’s 90th Birthday and St. George’s Day

Year 6 started off their day exploring British Value’s and looked at some of the links that the British Values had to our current World War Two topic. Children produced some great persuasive pieces of writing based on the British Value ‘Tolerance’. During the morning children also had the opportunity to learn a few circus skills with the help of the instructor Stu.
Our afternoon was filled with excitement and joy as our class (along with the rest of the school) took part in a party to celebrate the Queen’s 90th Birthday and St. George’s Day. There was music, food and lots of laughter.
