On Thursday, we visited Eden Camp – a World War 1/2-focused museum. Students learned about the rise of the Nazis, women’s roles during the War, escaping prisoner of war camps, victory gardens, the mechanicals of grenades and wartime-transport. It was a fantastic day out for all. Please see below for some pictures.

What a fantastic day today – we began with some ambitious Maths challenges – a special shout out to Aryan for solving the trickiest (see below).

Later in the day, we had a brief opportunity for Show and Tell. From Ellie’s woolen pumpkins to Elika’s prehistoric recreation, it was a real treat. To finish the session, we had a live music performance from Izzy (see below).

Well done everyone for your hard work today! Have a great weekend,

Miss Davies

This half term, we have explored a range of maths games to embed and apply our learning. This began with a Place Value game where students had to create numbers which they compared in a ‘Top Trumps’ style round. Following this students had to add, multiply and divide the numbers. There were certainly some ambitious sums happening in the classroom!

What a fantastic start to the day. Year 6 students got to spend some time with their Reception buddies. The buddies told us about their boxes, how and why they had filled them and took us through the ornate decorations. 6D were absolutely fantastic, listening and caring for the buddies attentively throughout the session. Well done 6D!

Well done to Alvin, Elika, Leon and Benji – all of whom have lead our collective worship over the past few weeks. These students probed their peers on their thoughts about our foci: respect, justice and belonging. There have been some fantastic contributions and moments of growth as a result. Students shared places that they felt that they belonged including various clubs outside and inside of school. We discussed how belonging feels “comfortable” and that sometimes we may not feel like we belong at first but can grow to belong in new environments. We also shared that ‘belonging’ in its truest form is feeling like you can be yourself.

We had a super time exploring Meanwood Valley Trail and engaging in our natural surroundings. We used OS maps to mark key locations along the walk and enjoyed our leaf rubbings!
