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 have been learning about how and why children were evacuated from London and other cities during World War II. We looked at primary and secondary sources to find out more information and also recalled what we had learned at Sayers Croft about the lives of evacuees who lived there during World War II. We then thought of our own historical questions to ask Kitty (Miss C’s mum who was an evacuee) when she comes to tell us about her experiences next week. 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 particularly 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. We also revised our mapreading skills and then created our own maps of Ewhurst, complete with Ordinance Survey symbols and 6 figure grid references.

In Religious Education, we started our new Domestic Church topic of ‘Loving’ by studying 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 and reflecting on what this passage teaches us about love and how we can apply this to our own lives. We chose our favourite description of love from this scripture and added this to our display alongside photographs of our families.

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 Yoga, Cricket, Singing and Music. 

Well done for your first week back, Year 6. Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
