Welcome to Year 6 Welcome to Year 6 Welcome to Year 6
Year 6 Leeds United Workshops
We were delighted to have the Leeds United Primary Choices Team in to work with Year 6. We took part in a range of activities on the impact of crime and violence, which will support us in making the right choices to divert us away from violence, harm and exploitation.
Into University
Year 6 classes took part in a focus week all about Art History! The children studied famous people from artistic backgrounds including Yinka Shonibare and Benjamin Zephaniah! On Tuesday, we were visited by a Professor of Paleontology and a Lecturer of Design and got to make our own cool fossil prints! Then we went to the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield, where we studied the amazing art and even had a go at making some of our own! Finally on Friday, we graduated! We performed special presentations and got to wear our very own mortar boards and gowns!
Year 6 Empowerment Art
Year 6 pupils worked alongside our resident artist to create this wonderful artwork on the theme of empowerment!
Year 6 Christmas cards
Children have developed plenty of new art skills during this year’s Christmas card-making endeavour! Learning continues right up to the very last day of term!
Author Visit - Hannah Durkan
This week everyone is talking about Zeina Starborn and the Sky Whale by the fantastic author Hannah Durkan! We were so inspired by her assemblies and book signing. We can’t wait to write our own science fiction stories!
