This week, children have been delving deeper into Black history as part of Black History Month. They have explored the achievements and inspirational stories of many influential people throughout history, who have fought for their freedom and right to change.

For history this week in Year 6, we studied the struggle that Saxon monks had to live through when Vikings first raided England in 793 AD. We wrote newspaper reports spreading the word of an attack on Lindisfarne, warning others about the inevitable threat of further Viking raids!

After getting used to our new surroundings in Year 6, we took part in some team-building activities in order to demonstrate our co-operative skills. One challenge required building skyscrapers out of just two pieces of paper! With great strategy and communication, we were able to surprise ourselves!

In Art, we practised a variety of hatching techniques that can be used to create tone when sketching. We had a fantastic time applying these techniques when sketching the other halves of our favourite animals!

For the first science lesson of our new topic 'Animals Including Humans', we familiarised ourselves with the technical vocabulary by playing a game of 'Flip It!' After having the function read out to us, we had lots of fun guessing the parts of the body!
