This half term, Year 6 have shown fantastic enthusiasm and maturity throughout their learning about World War II. They have engaged thoughtfully with the historical context, developing a strong understanding of the impact of the war on people’s lives in Britain. Pupils have demonstrated empathy and curiosity, making meaningful connections between past events and the world today.

The children have also thoroughly enjoyed their recent music workshops, which gave them the opportunity to work creatively and collaboratively. These sessions boosted confidence and teamwork while allowing pupils to express themselves through rhythm and performance.

In English, pupils have produced wonderful examples of descriptive and empathetic writing, drawing readers in through thoughtful word choices and emotional awareness.

Alongside this, they have been busy preparing their Headteacher for the Day campaigns. The effort, creativity, and leadership skills shown in their speeches and ideas have been outstanding, reflecting their growing confidence and readiness for the challenges ahead.

We look forward to another half term of challenging learning, discussions on the big questions in life and using our creative talents to show our understanding.
