Year 6

Ending on a High!

What a year! After weeks of home learning, they were back for their final term at KPS and raring to go. Having endured the never to be repeated experience of their teachers serenading them with Take That’s I Want You Back for Good, the Year 6 pupils launched into the Summer Term like champions.

WORLD WAR II TOPIC

Our Summer Term topic on World War II involved exploring the past through a wide range of cross-curricular learning methods. As well as discovering facts and looking at evidence about evacuees, the Blitz and D Day landings, the children engaged their imagination through creating poetry, making models of Anderson shelters, reading the classic children’s novel The Silver Sword, and reviewing films and documentaries about the war. They also studied the messages and artwork of propaganda posters and had a go at designing some of their own. The Year 6 pupils have certainly been a creative bunch.

BACCALAUREATE

We were blown away by the quality of the Year 6 Baccalaureate boards this year. From Suffragettes to strawberries, the themes were as varied as they were colourful. Who knew that we had experts in the Kushite Empire, interior design and Star Wars in our cohort?

The Year 6 pupils have certainly been a creative bunch. Edible homework was a popular choice this year. From waterfall cakes to edible Anderson shelters, we never knew independent study could be so tasty!

So it’s a fond farewell from all the staff as the 2021 Year 6 move on to senior school.

TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU SUPERSTARS: THANKS FOR BEING AMAZING - IT’S BEEN A BLAST!
