What a WOW week we have had in year 6. We kicked things off with the Windhill21 Speech Evening - "We are all Changemakers". The quality of the speeches our year 6 winners, James Allen and Louis Blind, delivered was exceptional. James and Louis both made such compelling arguments as to why the British Museum should return the Parthenon Marbles to Greece, thus protecting Greek cultural heritage, that not one person in the audience was left unconvinced. We were also exceedingly proud of our poetry performers - we were taken on a real journey with our emotions during their performance, and can't wait for their event in April!
The children also completed an independent write this week - composing their own Greek myths. We couldn't have been more engrossed in their tales of adventure, heroes, heroines, monsters and magic...they have truly taken these tales to a level that Jason and his Argonaut's would have been proud of!
We also thoroughly enjoyed welcoming parents into school to share and celebrate the work year 6 have produced so far this year. We couldn't believe how much we have already done! From World War I poetry to Kahlo and Da Vinci portraits....from narratives on fictional monsters to experiments with electricity! We are so very proud of the children - their ambition, work ethic and attitudes to learning. This was a truly lovely opportunity for parents, children, and the year 6 to share in this celebration together.
