In Year 6, your teachers will expect you to work hard and always try your very best. We will challenge you to reach your full potential but we will also support you when you need a helping hand!

We enjoyed watching pupils from secondary schools across Liverpool talking about the transition from primary to secondary school. We had the opportunity to take part in a slido vote to express our worries. We also had the opportunity to ask questions to the Y7 pupils about travelling to school, homework, timings and activities and trips. Class 6MR said that they were most excited about meeting new friends.

What’s the Risk?
Class 6 MR have been exploring risk taking and risk factors in PSHE. The children rated themselves on a range of statements as ‘high risk’ or ‘low risk’. They discovered that we all assess risk in a different way and the more aware we are of the possible risks, the more able we are to make choices that keep us safe.

We challenged ourselves with heights today when taking on Jacob’s Ladder! The children were amazing!

Aspirations Week
As part of our aspirations week, Abbie came into school to speak to us about mechanical engineering. She was an inspiration to us all! We enjoyed the building bridges challenge. The bridges that were built by Carter, Jacob, Ana and Sapphire were strong enough to hold 3 to 4 metal spanners! We have some fabulous creative problem solvers in Y6!
Thank you Abbie for coming in to tell us about engineering.
Community is a Superpower
Y6 were inspired by Mrs Clovis’ assembly during refugee week. They thought about all the people who have to flee their own countries, looking for a safe place for themselves and their children. They designed some posters to show how communities can bring people together; bridge divides and offer support and safe spaces. Community is the incredible everyday. Simple acts of shared generosity and kindness can become an unstoppable force.
Refugee week
Our assembly today was about raising awareness of what it means to be a refugee – Community is a superpower!
Many countries have many people that are forced to flee for their safety.
One of our children ended assembly with her own thoughts on being a community – “People are getting used to being around different types of people and the world is a colourful place!”
Aspirations Week!
In assembly, we discussed what it means to have aspirations.
We had the chance to dress up in the role that we aspire to be when we are older.
Aspirations Week
In Class 6MR, we have a designer, a teacher, a gymnast, a Thai boxer, a nail technician and a dance teacher! We also had footballers and engineers! Whatever you aspire to be in the future, do it with kindness and care!
Art
Class 6MR have been finding out about an incredible architect called Zaha Hadid. She designed the most amazing buildings and we discovered that she designed some funky looking shoes as well! Not sure we’d be able to walk in them though 😂
Cricket
A fantastic day of cricket in upper KS2 today. Huge thanks to Paul from Lancashire Cricket Club for delivering the sessions. Great fun at the end with a staff v pupils game! We have some incredible batters, fast bowlers, wicket keepers and fielders.

Science Investigation
We planned an experiment to find out if the duration of exercise affects our heart rate. We had to think about independent, dependent and controlled variables to ensure that it was a fair test. We used stopwatches to time our heart beats per minute and recorded our results. We discovered that the longer the duration of exercise, the higher the heart rate ❤️ We are now exhausted 😆
6MR- Democracy in Britain
In small groups, the children formed a political party and produced a manifesto which outlined their main policies. Each party chose an election candidate who had to present a speech to persuade voters to vote for them! Congratulations to The Electors who won the majority vote!

Year 6 enjoyed applying their knowledge of shape to solve different angles created on the classroom tables. The children used protractors and specific rules to ensure all the angles were correct and precise.
Maths- Class 6MR
