In Science, Year 6 explored the digestive system with a hands-on experiment! Using a tube as the oesophagus and tights as the intestines, they followed the journey of food through the body and discovered how our digestive system works.

This year’s theme in “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change”. We’re celebrating a day early at school by wearing yellow.

Throughout October, Year 6 are learning about inspirational Black historical figures. Today, children wore cultural clothing and the colours red, black and green to celebrate Black History Month. It was wonderful to see so many children embracing the occasion and celebrating the rich diversity of our community.

Today, we came together to celebrate Harvest Festival, led by Mrs Moore-Patrick, and we were delighted to be joined by Reverend Kate from St Thomas' church. The children sang beautifully and took part with great enthusiasm, helping to make the occasion a special one. Thank you to all our families for your generous harvest donations. Your kindness and support will help those in our local community.

Today, our children tasted Maya chocolate as part of their history learning. They discovered that it was very different from the sweet chocolate we enjoy today and were all brave enough to give it a try! Take a look at the photos and see if you can tell from their faces whether they enjoyed it or not!
