AMAZING! A word that sums up everything in year 6 this past fortnight. Firstly, the pupils were amazing during SATs week. They acted like professionals, set out to do their best and made us proud! Well done Year 6! You could not have given it more.
This last week has been amazing too as we got stuck into our new geography topic, 'Amazing Places'. We have zoomed into Iceland, land of ice and fire, learning about its unusual geography and geology resulting in it having both glaciers and active volcanoes. Many of us were unsure about stepping into a natural hot pool but we thought that the idea of geothermal energy was a genius one! We were also intrigued by the unusual geography of Iran, that not only borders the Caspian sea but also has a salt desert. We were able to compare and contrast the landscapes, both of which are influenced by their proximity to tectonic plate boundaries. As for Canada, we were amazed by the inhospitable nature of the landscape and its vast size.
When looking closely at all locations, we also had the opportunity to explore the people and cultures thereon, including languages and customs which sparked our excitement and curiosity.
The week ended as it began, with a trip to Crucial Crew. Children learnt some important lessons on how to keep themselves safe as they start secondary school and the freedoms that it affords. All pupils acted as ambassadors of Windhill21 as they walked to the Barnabas Centre and conducted themselves on site with impeccable manners and enthusiasm. Year 6 - you have been AMAZING!
