Spring Term 

Easter 2025 

Year 6 have enjoyed the season of Lent and Easter preparations this half term. They took part in the wonderful Easter Service, created Easter gardens and bonnets and took part in a raffle to win some delicious chocolate! 

School Mass 

Year 6 led our school alongside Fr Mark in a whole school mass. The children read and sang beautifully throughout.

World Book Day 2025 

We loved performing for the school to celebrate World Book Day! Each class came together in the hall and performed a Matt Goodfellow poem; ours was called 'I Hope It Rains Today.'

Ash Wednesday - Collective Worship

Equality and Diversity Assembly 

Year 6 presented their learning so far this year linked to Equality and Diversity for their parents and the rest of our school. They finished their presentation with an African drumming performance and were amazing!

Escape Rooms  - Maths Problem Solving 

Year 6 worked collaboratively to solve the maths puzzles during their session at escape rooms. They had an amazing time and demonstrated great team-working skills. They communicated their ideas well and all managed to crack the code!

Trashion Show 2025

DT Textiles 

Year 6 made pencil cases as part of their learning on textiles. They used felt as their main material and joined this with thread. As part of their learning they recapped on their knowledge of a range of stitch types from previous years: running stitch, over stitch and back stitch. Each child created their own design and included applique to add further detail to their work. They chose the best stitch to use based on the needs of their product and produced some excellent work.

The Finished Products!

Athletics Tournament 

Year 6 took part in the Sportshall Athletics competition led by the pupils at Kings Leadership. Academy. They participated against a number of other schools and had fun while they did it!

Holocaust Memorial Day 

Year 6 joined several children from other schools to watch 'Anne Frank's Diary' at the Plaza cinema in Crosby. It was a poignant film and gave Year 6 a lot to think about. We are now researching the life of Anne Frank as she is one of our inspirational people who has left an important legacy on the world. 

Play in a Day - Romeo and Juliet 

Year 6 put on a show-stopping performance for the rest of our school, with Romeo and Juliet. Every child spoke clearly, remembered their lines and remained in character throughout. This drama- focused day was a brilliant way for them to explore our new text in more detail and they really had a fantastic time! 

History - The Vikings

Year 6 have enjoyed consolidating and presenting all of the information they have gathered about the Vikings in their history lessons. They put their learning into a double page spread to share their knowledge and summarise key aspects of the vikings in Britain. 

British Values - Rule of Law 

Year 6 shared the importance of the Rule of Law with our school today. It was their important assembly on one of the British values that keep us all safe and happy in our community.

Christmas 2024!

Children in Need 

The children came to school in their pyjamas along with the rest of our school to raise money for Children in Need. Everyone was incredibly generous and had a great day raising the funds too! 

Other Faiths - Judaism

Year 6 joined Year 2 on a visit to Dunbabin Road Synagogue to learn more about the Jewish faith and to find out more about what is inside a synagogue. We learned lots of new terms such as bimah and yad while also recapping on our knowledge from previous years work.

Design Technology - Fairgrounds 

Year 6 worked hard with Steph on their DT projects to make fairground models. They linked their learning in Science (electricity) to create complete circuits to power their models. 

Play in a Day - The Vikings 

Year 6 had a great day on their learn and present with Altru Drama! They put together a fantastic play for our school all about the vikings! 

Moel Famau Trip 

Year 6 strengthened their resilience and determination by working together to climb Moel Famau with support from the NEWSAR volunteers. They had a wonderful day and most importantly made it to the top with smiles on their faces! 

Feast of St Robert Bellarmine 

The children from Year 2 to Year 6 attended mass to celebrate the Feast Day for St Robert Bellarmine. This mass also gave us the opportunity to join with our parish community to begin our year together.

School Council Elections 

Democracy has been in action! Our Year 6 children voted for their councillors who will represent them this year. Well done to everyone who put themselves forward!

Hokusai Mission Display

For our Mission Display this year, Year 6 studied the work of Japanese artist Hokusai. They recreated his work, 'The Wave' to represent how our school mission statements can help guide them through the year.

Science - Light Investigation

Year 6 have been working scientifically to find out if light can bend or if it will travel only in a straight line. They all used their prior knowledge from y3 to predict that it can only travel in straight lines and that opaque objects will block light.
