Here is an update on the curriculum for Year 6 during this term:

Following our updated curriculum, we will shortly be beginning our new focus question: Did Nikola Tesla change the world?

Our focus questions help us to accumulate knowledge over the course of this academic year to be able to answer our big question: Can one person change the world?

Technical Drawing

Year 6 have been learning about John Harrison and the inventions of his marine chronometers. In art, we have looked at his technical drawings and have tried to replicate technical drawings of the inner workings of pocket watches. The children used compasses to aid with this.

Our 30 Things Challenge

Our 30 Things Challenge is a seven year endeavour to be completed by pupils during their time with us. We have worked with children, parents, staff and governors to identify our own twenty-five tasks and combined it with five selected by our academy trust, which will be common to all children attending a LAAT school.

We have now turned these ideas into our very own “My 30 Things Passport”, which will be updated as each challenge is completed. We feel sure that you will agree that in order to meet their thirty challenges the children will be kept busy over their seven years with us!

For those children further up the school, or who join us later on in their school journey, we recognise that it may not be possible to meet all thirty before they leave us but we will endeavour to meet as many as possible in the time we have available.

Water Safety

Hi everyone, I hope you are all keeping well and staying active. Unfortunately we are not able to go swimming at the moment, however this week is Drowning Prevention Week so I thought it would be nice to at least think about swimming and water safety. There are some activities here that you may like to do, either print off, do in your books or on plain paper.

When you are out and about near rivers, lakes or at the beach or playing in paddling pools, remember to follow the Water Safety Code to keep yourself and others safe around water.
