Manchester International Festival
‘Walk with Amal’ project wb 18th October
We had a visitor called Magdilin who came to visit year 6 and undertake a workshop linked to their RE topic Ihow and why do some people inspire others?) She went through with them what refugee means, how and why people become refugees. The children learned how they could help and support different organisations so refugees could live a life free from justice and poverty. They took part in different drama actiivites where they had to work in a group and create different forms of transport that refugees could use.
Woodland Sprites
The Year 6 children enjoyed a trip to the park to create their very own Woodland Sprites. With the guidance of a local artist, the children collected natural resources from their surroundings and used these and some natural clay to bring to life the creatures they had researched and designed in class. A lot of fun was had and it was fantastic to see Year 6 be so creative!
Meet our Head/Deputy boys and girls!
At the start of term teachers received applications from those wanting to be Head boy or girl. Teachers chose the best applications and those children presented their speech to the whole of Year 6. The year 6 children then voted for who they wanted to reprpesent them as Head Boy and Girl. Deputies were also chosen in this deocratic way.

Scientic survey workshop 6th Oct
On Wednesday 6th October, Y6 took part in scientific survey workshops with Charley Halliwell, a visiting lecturer from Askham Bryan Land-based Studies College near York. Eager to find out more about the invertebrate biodiversity we have in the environment surrounding school, they used various scientific surveying and collection techniques (E.g. sweep-netting, beat netting, quadrant surveying) to collect specimens, before using ‘pooters’ to examine them more closely. They were then able to use the classification skills learned this term, to group the organisms, according to their different characteristics.
