Welcome to the Year 6 Learning Journey.
Here we will share some of the things we get up to during each half term.
Summer Term
VE Day - 80th Anniversary
We learnt about 'Victory in Europe Day' as part of our World War 2 history topic. As part of this we looked at the old school log books for entries that were made by the headteacher of the time.
We learnt that:
-
Evacuees came to our school from Ardwick in Manchester and Bradford with 2 of their teachers;
-
There was an air raid shelter on the field - part of this is now buried;
-
The children took part in gas mask and air raid drills - the quickest they evacuated the building was 2.5 minutes;
-
The children got a 2 day holiday for VE Day and it was celebrated in following years too.
We also spent time investigating different primary sources such as films, interviews, photographs and documents provided by the Imperial Ware Museum that helped us learn more about people's experiences of VE Day.
'Goodbye My Friend - Our Y6 Production
This week Y6 performed their final production, 'Goodbye My Friend' to the school, their parents and family members. They gave excellent performances filled with fantastic singing, dancing and acting. Over the last half term they have worked extremely hard to prepare for this and they gave it their all.
We wish them well as they leave us this Friday and move onto their high school 'era'.
Good luck Y6!
