Year 6
Newsletter
February 2017
Welcome to our 3rd celebration
newsletter. It’s been another
jammed packed term full of fun
and learning. Here is what Year 6
has to say about this term.
Maths
In maths, we have learnt about three different measurements for a circle.
These are circumference, diameter and radius. The circumference is like
the perimeter except for a circle. Diameter is the length from one side of
the circle to the other side across the middle of the circle. The radius is
his length from the midpoint to the edge of the circle. Learning about it
was tricky but fun.

English
In English we are learning about the
Highwayman, it is very fun!
On Monday 6th February we watched a
puppet animation. We then made our
own Highwayman puppet show for the
class. We could use our hands and cut out
shapes and make noises to represent
sounds such as rain and horse hooves. In
the Highwayman there are three main
characters:
Bess,
Tim
and
the
Highwayman. In this story, Tim loves Bess
but she loves the Highwayman. Tim
wants Bess to himself and wants to kill the
Highwayman.
In conclusion, I love
learning about this subject and can’t wait
to learn more about it.

Cultural Day
I have enjoyed the Bollywood day because
I got to try new foods and I liked lots of
them. I also liked it because when I did
the Bollywood dancing, it was a fun
experience and I don’t try it very often.
Also when the parents joined in it was
really fun.

Wasted Workshop linked to PSHE
We did lots of cool and exciting
things.
One of which was an
awesome workshop called Wasted.
People came in to talk to Year 6
about drugs, answer our questions
and show us what effects they have
on you. I found it very interesting
and it answered a lot of my
questions.
By Liz
This term I have enjoyed learning
about how dangerous, addictive and
bad drugs can be. It can also cause
you to get arrested or even die from
illegal drugs. It will mean you have
to stay away from family, friends
and loved ones.

Science - Electricity
This term has been jam packed but
there is one subject that has blown me
away and that subject is science
because we have learnt so much and I
have learnt how to explain why it does
or doesn’t work also I have had many
fantastic experiments.

P.E.
This term has been amazing but my
favourite thing was learning the Haka
because I love rugby and my favourite
team is the All Blacks.
By Tommy
In tag rugby, we have been learning
how to perform. Also we had a proper
coach who came to teach us. His
name was Mr Saunders. It was fun
having Harvey teach us the Haka,
which New Zealand uses to intimidate
people in rugby.
By Leon
own wrap and then we will try it and
write down what we think about it.

Young Voices
Young voices is incredible! All the
songs are epic and I can’t wait to sing
them at the O2. My favourite is about
to rock.
By Alyssa
I have enjoyed Young Voices because
of everything we got to do. I also liked
the songs we got to sing including
seeing all the other schools who
participated.

Cooking in Design Technology
I have loved doing cooking this term
and trying new foods that I’ve never
tried before. New foods from other
countries are awesome and you
should try them!
By Charlie
We also debated what punishment would
suit a crime from an Anglo Saxon
perspective compared to modern times.
This jury had a tough decision!
The Year 6 Term
This term I have enjoyed cooking. In
cooking, so far, we have made
guacamole. With the guacamole we
tasted the shop-made one, a fresh one
and one with chilli and did the same
with salsa. We have also made pebre.
Cooking has been extremely fun this
term.
By Cate
I love cooking because we get to try
new food that we have never tried
before like the black eyed bean salad
(which was from Brazil). Also we have
to bring in an ingredient to make our
