This half-term, the pupils have worked together to create their own dance routine. The pupils worked on including changes in level, direction and speed.
On Thursday this week, the Year 6 pupils enjoyed a fantastic assembly and workshop led by Bart Gee. Bart came to speak to the pupils about how he overcomes the challenges of his disability. Bart spoke about how even if something is hard, difficult or challenging, it is still possible to achieve a goal by working hard and being perseverant. Bart was incredibly inspiring!
We have really enjoyed reading the book ‘The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse’ by Charlie Mackesy. We have created some artwork in the style of the author. Here is a range of work - from our first attempt, to our final versions.
We really enjoyed Book Week and World Book Day! We dressed up for World Book Day and came to school dressed as some of our favourite book characters!
As part of our ‘Viewpoints’ unit, the pupils learned about one point perspective. We have studied the work of LS Lowry, David Hockney and Vincent Van Gogh. The pupils used these works to develop their drawing and painting skills.
This week, our class took part in an Indoor Athletics competition at JFK secondary school. The pupils competed against several other schools in multiple track and field events. The class represented their school really well and displayed excellent sportsmanship! Well done Year 6!
As part of their work in Maths, the pupils have been revising equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages. They created fantastic posters to help them remember all these facts!
This week, the pupils have been designing gymnastics sequences in P.E. They have worked hard to include balances and rolls in their routines.

Doesn’t our Gade Valley Christmas tree look wonderful?
We are really proud of our origami stained-glass inspired Christmas decorations!
The circus skills workshop run by Lucas Jet was incredible! We enjoyed a performance, by Lucas, in the morning and learned some circus skills in his workshop in the afternoon. It was a fantastic experience!
