Bonjour, c'est la Sixienne Classe!

Do you like our French version of Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes? We've been all about the different body parts in our French lessons so what better song to choose than this?!

We have moved onto the final layers of our prints! Before this lesson, we had designed our prints, created a simple print of the outline in one colour, and pushed down patterns and sections of our tiles for the second. By designing and pushing down our backgrounds on the polytiles, we are adding…

In Year 6, we have been working in small groups when researching a pilgrimage from one of the key faiths: Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Islam and Hinduism. They have worked hard to gather information and record their findings in an attractive and informative poster before presenting them to the…

In English we have started a new unit all about the British polar explorer, Ernest Shackleton! One of the books we are using within the unit is William Grill's "Shackleton's Journey". With a title like that, it would be daft not to recap apostrophes for possession and omission and work hard to…

Year 6 are enjoying learning new skills in Knitting Club. Thank you to Miss Goddard, one of our school governors, for her time (and patience!) in running the group.

Well done to the y5/6 children who took part in the football competition at Moorside school- the first one for over 18months!  We did well reaching the semi-finals and just missing out after a tense penalty shootout. The children worked well as a team and represented the school…

In Year 6, we have started our new Computing unit: iNetwork! In the first session, we learned how the term 'networked' means connected and thought of examples of networks from everyday life. We thought of electricity networks, the London Underground tube station, and devices connected to servers…

This morning, Year 6 had an absolute blast (to the past!) during their 'Turns & Tunes' session with Mikey and Jenny!

We learned a traditional country dance and a range of step dances which are all part of our Lancashire heritage. We enjoyed listened to Mikey play the fiddle and watching Jenny…

Year 6 are so lucky to be working with our fabulous visitor to Scotforth, Naomi, every Thursday for the term! Naomi is an experienced Secondary School Art Teacher and was generous enough to offer to come into school to work with the children whilst they are doing their new art unit:…

As Year 6 have been focusing on learning about the events and understanding the impact of WW1 in History this Autumn Term, we have studied a selection of war poets alongside their poetry in our English learning also.

The children have learned verses from the poem, 'For the Fallen' by Laurence…

Following the Fencing sessions at Lockerbie Manor, we received lots of positive feedback and interest in the sport, and so were delighted to be able to offer this as a new after-school club on Wednesdays for Years 5 and 6!
As you can see, the children had a fantastic time this evening, all the…

In Y6 this week, we have become increasingly passionate about our Autumn term History topic: World War 1! After reading more of our class book in English (Stay Where You Are and Then Leave), we have become invested in the lives of Alfie Somerfield and his family, which as a result has developed…
