Lifeskills Trip

On Monday afternoon, Year 6 visited Lifeskills. We were so impressed with the way that they had recreated so many different places, from a bank to a Co-op shop, to a train station, to a building site!

Children worked in small groups to identify risks in hazardous situations, and to learn how to manage these dangers. Some scenarios involved calling up the 'emergency services', whilst others taught us how to look after our bikes and how to calculate change. 

We had an incredible trip, and we'll definitely recommend next year's Year 6 to visit Lifeskills to help them learn how to be safe in hazardous situations! 




Calling the police after a suspected knife attack. 


Learning about best before dates on food.


Budgeting and calculating change. 


What a room can look like after a fire has been burning for 3 minutes.


Spot the hazards!


Would you retrieve your phone from the railway?

Term 6 - Writing

 In literacy lessons, we have been learning about part of S. F. Said's book, 'Phoenix'. We read an edited version of the first chapter, and over the next few weeks, created our own action stories based on that.

Term 6 - Music Week

 For Music Week, we listened to 'The Carnival of the Animals'. Year 6 focused on 'The Aviary'. After discussing the piece of music, we looked at images of birds and then collaborated as a table to create our own bold, beautiful birds. Don't they look great?

Term 6 - Writing Day

 We loved celebrating National Writing Day this year! It was really interesting to think about how authors and illustrators work together to tell a story, and we have made a fantastic class book full of stories about our proudest moments.  We also liked taking part in the challenges which came over the walkie-talkie during the day! A particular favourite was 'write your name in fancy'.
