After a busy and exciting week at Sayers Croft, Year 6 are settling back into school life and have been working hard in all their subjects.
In PSHE, we revisited the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. We know that these rights are for all children and cannot be taken away. We talked and wrote what we thought adults and children could do to respect some of these rights for all children at school. Finally, we used what we had learned to create and agree on our rights respecting shared class charter. This will help us to remember to respect our own rights and those of other children.
In History, we are learning about how and why children were evacuated from London and other cities during World War II. We recalled what we had learned at Sayers Croft about the lives of evacuees who lived there during World War II. We are looking forward to meeting Kitty (Miss C’s mum who was an evacuee) when she comes to tell us about her experiences. In addition, we began learning about the Blitz and created our own silhouette artwork to represent London during this difficult time.
In Geography, we conducted part two of our facilities and traffic survey, this time on Marylebone High Street. The drivers were very friendly this year and we were thrilled to get lots of waving and hooting this year as well as lots of smiles and waves from pedestrians as well! Once back at school, we compared and contrasted our results with the results of our fieldwork study in Ewhurst last week.
In Religious Education, we started our new topic of ‘Creation and Covenant’ by studying the second creation story in Genesis 2 and 3. We created art work to show our understanding and reflected on what the symbols in the scripture teach us about God’s relationship with his people.
In addition to all of this hard work, we have been practising Place Value in Maths and diary writing in English and also enjoying lessons in Fitness, Cricket, Singing and Music.
Well done for your first week back, Year 6. Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
