Year 6<\/h2>

Welcome to Year 6 2026-27 with Miss Burrell and Mr Hollis-Pack.<\/h3>

We would encourage you to keep an eye on these pages as we like to share aspects of the children\u2019s learning and experiences from Willow and Sycamore classes.\u00a0<\/p>

2026-2027<\/em><\/h4>

30th March 2026 – Music<\/h3>

In Music, Year 6 have been exploring variations of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, inspired by Mozart\u2019s Twinkle Variations. They began by learning the song using body percussion and then chose a line to adapt by adding repeats, additional sounds and actions, and by varying the dynamics, tempo, and pitch. The children then learnt the song off by heart on the glockenspiels before working in groups to create their own variations. Finally, we brought all of our learning together to compose a whole-class piece. The children created a bassline and then layered their variations on top, performing the final composition with different pupils taking on different roles. There are definitely a few budding Mozarts in Year 6!<\/span><\/p>

\"\"\u00a0\"\"<\/span><\/p>

23rd February 2026 – Life skills<\/h3>
Y6 visited the\u00a0 Lifeskills centre in Bristol. It was both an informative and engaging trip. Throughout the trip, we explored a series of realistic, interactive scenarios designed to help us understand how to stay safe in everyday situations.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>

We moved through a variety of settings, including a mock street, a shop and a home environment. Each area highlighted potential hazards and encouraged us to think carefully about how to respond safely. One particularly valuable and fun activity involved practising how to make an emergency call.<\/p>

The staff were welcoming and offered clear explanations, guiding us through each scenario while still allowing us to make our own decisions. This hands\u2011on approach helped reinforce important safety skills in a memorable and practical way.<\/p>

All of the children were fantastic throughout the visit and we were really proud of how well they represented themselves and the school.<\/p>

Overall, we had a great day which helped to develop our confidence in managing real\u2011life situations safely.\u00a0<\/p>

\"\"\u00a0\"\"<\/div>

11th February 2026 – DT<\/h3>

Year 6 have been busy in DT designing and making their own steady hand games. They began by exploring a different range of toys, then planned imaginative game designs that challenge a player\u2019s concentration and fine\u2011motor skills. Using wires, buzzers and creative themes, they constructed circuits that complete when the metal wand touches the wire track – triggering a buzz! Pupils tested, refined and decorated their games, showing fantastic problem\u2011solving, teamwork and resilience throughout the project.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"\u00a0\"\"<\/span><\/p>

9th October 2025 – River Walk<\/h3>
Years 5 and 6 enjoyed an engaging river walk along the lower course of the Blind Yeo, led by Mr Thurgur who shared his knowledge and gave valuable insights throughout the trip. The children explored the river in detail, observing meanders, strand lines, sluice gates and other key features while completing a worksheet to help them explain and record what they saw.<\/div>

During the walk, the children considered questions such as which way the river flows and how to tell, how wide the river is and how to check measurements back in school, the purpose of flood plains and estuaries and why paths are higher than riverbanks. They also discussed tributaries, the meaning of the Blind Yeo and the role of the sea wall in protecting the surrounding land. From the top of Poet\u2019s Walk, they were able to identify various river features and even made sketches of what they could see.<\/p>

A huge thank you to Mr Thurgur and all the adults who accompanied the children to make this trip possible.\u00a0<\/p>
