Recently, the brilliant children of 6KEST wowed their parents and carers with their learning, singing and knowledge during their class assembly . Even though they had only been in Year 6 for 7 weeks, they had completed a phenomenal amount of work and learnt so much! What an incredibly arty class! Just look at these sketches -inspired by Monet's fascination with light- which show refraction (this was linked to our science learning).They have also been learning to recite poetry and as a class, they shared 'The Wellgate Way.' The children sang beautifully during the assembly and even added actions to their performances. 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. Year 6 had a fabulous day centred all around our love of reading and vocabulary. We enjoyed an online author workshop, a very competitive reading quiz, and we enjoyed being illustrators this afternoon making outstanding artwork based on 'The Day the Crayons Quit.' The children also made reading stars; why not ask your child about the target they have set themselves? We also received some really exciting news this week about a writing competition that Year 6 have been involved in across our Trust. The competition is being judged by a local author, Katie Booth, and it was great to see so many of our children being chosen as finalists.
