Year 6 newsletter

 Year 6 have had another very busy week, starting with a visit from Retune who have helped us to focus on our mental health and wellbeing, through a series of enriching and fun activities.

We have transported ourselves back in time to 1914, as the Great War broke out - and England began to call for volunteers to sign up for their country. We had little idea how much of an impact this had locally...and how many young men were so keen to sign up as quickly as they could. We also learned how to write rallying and inspiring speeches to call such young men to action! Mrs Moore and Mrs Wood were absolutely captivated by our rousing, patriotic language - and we are sure these would have been used by Captains and Generals to recruit soldiers. 

In science, we have been learning about the circulatory system -even having an interesting debate about whether we would rather be red blood cell or a white blood cell! One of the highlights, however, was forming a human circulatory system. We discovered the heart has the hardest role, because it has to pump in two directions, at the same time! 24 hours a day, 7 days a week....for a lifetime.

We are so impressed with the hard work, effort and enthusiasm from all the children - here's to another exciting week in year 6!
