Welcome back!




Week 3: 15th-19th September

This week we had our first forest school session at Lesters Yard! Although the weather was torrential, Year 6 still enjoyed every moment (especially the hot chocolate).

In science this week, we reflected on the five types of scientific enquiry. We were challenged to read a variety of experiments and decide whether they were observing over time, pattern seeking, identifying, grouping, and classifying, fair testing or researching. Miss Mc Gill and Mrs Dixon were so impressed with our scientific conversations and debates!



Week 2: 8th - 12th September 2025

This week we were introduced to our new poetry book - The Final Year. This book takes us on an amazing journey as Nate (main character) navigates his final year in primary school. From the first poem we have learnt that Nates primary school is located in a large city. From here our discussion of city vs suburb began. We used inferences from the book to help us generated a plethora of supper words to describe these two settings.



Week 1: 3rd - 5th September 2025

What a first week back! Year 6 have been enjoying the Year 6 life this week as we start to fill up our diaries with the events for our final year of primary school! We have started our new topics in literacy, Numeracy and Science and everyone has been trying their best to show Mrs Dixon and Miss Mc Gill their absolute best!
