• Sketching the City - Year 6 Visits London

  Mon 28 Sep 2026

  We had an absolute blast on our visit to sketch the city this week, our immersion into our Art topic. We followed a route and used our map reading skills to get ourselves from Liverpool Street Station around the local area to be inspired by the architecture of iconic London buildings and structures including The Gherkin, The Lloyds Building, The Walkie Talkie and The Monument. We looked at the different shapes and materials that we used in their construction, how they were set amongst other buildings and clues of their age from the detail in their decoration, all whilst sketching what we saw.  Keep an eye out for our final pieces which will merge this first-hand observational drawing with the influences of our two spotlight artists, in a display which will be up after half term.

  

• PHSCE Workshop in Year 6

  Mon 21 Sep 2026

  We had such a useful session with Ella, our WINS practitioner, as part of our PSHCE topic Dreams and Goals, where we looked at self-esteem and self-confidence. We thought about the impact that low self esteem can have on our ability to achieve the things that we want to and make our personal development more challenging. We looked at how we can overcome these feelings through positive self talk, and exercises like box breathing. Ask us to show you how to do it!

  

• Year 6 Electricity Workshop

  Fri 11 Sep 2026

  We had a wonderful time with Henry from Benjamin Franklin House, learning about ‘The father of electricity.’  We looked into why Benjamin Franklin was such a significant figure in scientific and social history and how his scientific discoveries still impact our lives today. Once we knew more about the context of the man and his work, we got more hands on with our own investigation into the power of static electricity!
