The Year 6 children had an amazing Christmas party. All adults involved said that the children were impeccably behaved and that they all had a wonderful time. Have a look at some of the photos – the smiles say it all 😊.

The Year 6 Team would like to take the opportunity to thank all the pupils for their hard work, enthusiasm and general amazingness. We hope that all children and their families have a lovely Christmas and a well earned rest.

Year 6 had an amazing day at Crucial Crew learning how to be safe through a variety of different scenarios. All the children were impeccably behaved and were an absolute credit to the school and their families. 

Bus Transport
The children learnt how to safely catch a bus, how they should behave on the bus and what they need to be able to travel by bus. Please scan the QR code if you would like to obtain a bus pass for your child.

Hate and Knife Crime
The children learnt about what hate and knife crime both are and the impact that they can have on others. 

County Lines
The children really enjoyed this session and were quite shocked by some of the facts that were shared. They were taught what signs to look for so that they could protect their peers as well as themselves.

Water Safety
The children learnt how to be safe around open water, the dangers of open water and how to help someone who may have fallen in.

Road Safety
The children learnt how to cross the road safely, the stopping distances of cars and how to use a Puffin Crossing correctly. 

Fire Safety
Children learnt about the repercussions of hoax calls and about the consequences of anti-social behaviour.

The Courtroom
The children were given the opportunity to experience what it would be like if they were ever in a court room. They learnt about the full process and what the consequences of their actions could be.

Fire in the home
The children learnt about smoke alarms and what to do if they were ever in the unfortunate position of being in a house fire. 

Last week, the amazing children of 6BLJW wowed their parents and carers with their class assembly. Even though they've only been in Year 6 for 7 weeks, they have completed a phenomenal amount of work and have learnt so much!
They are clearly an incredibly arty class - just look at these sketches which show refraction (this was linked to our science learning).

The children have been focusing their learning on The Impressionist Movement, so they looked at Claude Monet's work for inspiration. 

They have also been learning to recite poetry. As a class, they shared 'The Wellgate Way' and then a small group read, 'A Tiger in the Zoo.'

The children sang beautifully during the assembly and even added actions to their performances. 

Thank you to the great audience who were a fantastic support. 

Our lucky Year 6 children have had a brilliant morning on their last trip at Wellgate. They enjoyed knocking down the pins - we even had a few strikes. They also enjoyed a lovely lunch. We hope you all had a fab time!

Last week, our incredible Year 5 and 6 children put on their end of year production, 'Let the Games Begin'. They all worked so hard to learn all of their lines, songs and dance moves making it a huge success. Some of them even took on a backstage role ensuring that the props, lightening and music ran seamlessly. Well done to everyone that took part on or off stage. We are so proud of you all. 

The second half of Autumn term we have continued to work hard.  Below is a small selection of what we have learnt about.

History – Maya civilisation
We’ve studied the regions where the Maya lived, timeline of the period and some of the significant influences they have had on our lives.

D & T – sewing pencil cases
The unit was about designing, sewing and decorating a pencil case with a fastening.

Maths – Bar model
We have used the bar model to help us solve maths problems.

​Writing – Narrative Writing
We wrote horror narrative extracts linked to Cogston House and used AI to create an image of our descriptions.

Computing – Websites
We designed our own websites.

Science – Light and Electricity
We studied how light and electricity work, the people who discovered and explained key ideas and we use them today.

PE – Gymnastics
We created and performed a series of gymnastic movements (canon, unison, mirror) to a piece of music (Bohemian Rhapsody).

Oh and we completed many jigsaws.  Here is our Harry Potter 1000 piece jigsaw .
