Thank you to Miss Lockwood & Mr Leonard for giving 6J such a wonderful time in Beech’s Base yesterday afternoon. As part of our Science work on light, the children managed to make a sun dial! They also got the chance to practise den building, fire lighting and some woodwork.

Starting Wednesday, there will be a TTRS battle between the three Yr 6 classes! This battle will last over the weekend and finish on Monday morning!

There are prizes available for the top scoring accounts, plus those that play the most minutes! The winning class will also receive some extra break time as a class reward!

Every child should have their TTRS log in handy, please see your class teacher if you don’t have yours available.

Happy Battling, Yr 6!

6J completed their first taste of Tag Rugby in PE last week. We began the unit by looking at some of the key skills: agility, passing, catching and moving into space. There is a Yr 5/6 Tag Rugby tournament coming up so it was great to see lots of children giving the sport a go!

6J have been exploring worldviews in Beliefs & Values today. We have spent time looking at the belief of Humanism.

Here are some quotes from the children of 6J after today’s lesson:

“I’ve enjoyed learning about a new topic, I didn’t even know Humanists existed before today…” Kacey Mae

“It’s a lot more fun when we get to learn using stories we haven’t heard before…” Kayla 

“It has been interesting because I can link it to my own thoughts, it’s nice to learn about things other than the main religions we normally do…” Brianna

“I’ve liked it because if you are a Humanist, or agnostic, then you will feel like your beliefs have been included in our school…” Daisy
