Recently some of our Y6s attended an A.I.M High poetry master class alongside several other schools. This was led by the published author Andy Craven-Griffiths. Initially, they were a little shy but with a little bit of encouragement and confidence they really engaged with all the activities and they did Aston Lodge proud. They worked [...]

Last week, the children have been writing their poems based on WW2 evacuation. In maths, we have been looking at mental strategies and in reading, we have focused on character perceptions based on information the book has told us already. In wider curriculum, we participated in an African Drumming workshop. This is something they really […]

The children in Y6 have been enjoying acting out scenes from their class novel: Goodnight Mr Tom. Through echo reading and playing roles, they are really building an understanding of all the different people in the story. Amazing work

In PSHE this week, we have been learning that all of our actions have consequences. We played a game to understand this further. The reward for being silent was to gain the ‘treasure’ from the treasure keeper without them hearing a sound. However, the consequence of being heard was that they were frozen and out [...]

In science, in Y6, we have started our new unit ‘Plants and Animals’. We have started to learn about different plants and how they are grouped. We call this ‘classification’. Creating a classification flow chart is quite tricky, so before we started to group plants, we practically grouped liquorice allsorts! Liquorice allsorts are great for [...]
