We are now almost halfway through the term and Year 6 have had a busy three weeks. To begin the term, they created a piece of writing - based on a short video from Literacy Shed titled Broken: Rock, Paper and Scissors - that contained dialogue to advance the action.
This term's RE unit is Called to Serve. During this unit we will focus on when we receive our invitation to be a part of God's Kingdom; the sacraments; and how we can serve God and be a living witness.
so far, the children have had two successful Art lessons, which are linked to our History topic of World War 2. During those lesson, the children looked at a few different pieces of artwork that depicted bravery.

The following lessons, they created a plan for their own clay sculpture that depicts bravery; they then sculpted their pieces.
