Summer Term message from Mr Swift:
Welcome to the Summer everyone! I hope everyone has enjoyed their break and is raring to go for a big term ahead in Year 6!
This half term is as busy as ever! Our topic for this term is 'Britain at War' and the children will have the opportunity to explore the role Britain played in both World Wars, as well as the significant impact these events had upon our world today. To supplement this, we have a trip planned to the Imperial War Museum in Manchester during the second half term, where children can take part in an interactive experience and learn from experts. We will also be taking part in our Forest School session in that same half term and furthering our knowledge and understating of evolution and inheritance in wildlife and plants. Sports Day will be here soon enough and we hope to make our final one a day to remember, showcasing all of our sporting prowess, as well as our teamwork, respect and sportsmanship.
SATs are just around the corner and there is a lot of preparation to be done. The children have worked so hard and can be extremely proud of their efforts so far.....just a little further!

If you need any help or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact.

Terrific Tennis
year6 teacher (R.Swift) on: Year 6 Blog
Another visit from our excellent tennis coach Pete, who showed us how to hit a successful forehand and backhand. Our Year 6 children were as wonderful as ever and are improving their skills all the time. Some brilliant tennis players already, who have said they would love to give it a try out of school and take up a new sport!
Church Visit
year6 teacher (R.Swift) on: Year 6 Blog
As part of our learning in RE, we visited church this week to discuss the symbols of Eucharist. We learned all about the structure and representations and were lucky enough to be treated to a first hand demonstration from Mr Bennett and Elizabeth. We are so fortunate to have links with our wonderful local church. Thank you everyone!
Five loaves and two fish - all for Y6
year6 teacher (R.Swift) on: Year 6 Blog
Year One have been listening to the story of Jesus feeding five thousand people. They tried to share five loaves of bread and two fish with the 30 children in Y6 and barely had enough for them to share! Year 6 - thanks for being great sports and fabulous examples to our younger children.
Brilliant Bakers
year6 teacher (R.Swift) on: Year 6 Blog
What a great time our Y6 children had following a recipe and making their own bread as part of a DT project. This followed a 'Food for Life' research project where children looked at saturated and unsaturated fats. The children learnt about foods in moderation, healthy and unhealthy choices too. The bread filled school with the most delicious smell!
Superb Space Artwork in the Lytham Gallery
year6 teacher (R.Swift) on: Year 6 Blog
Our amazing artwork has been chosen to be on display in the Lytham Heritage Art display during February. This work was inspired by our Moon Week and we used a range of media to create our imaginative space pictires. Can you see how we have smudged the chalks to create effects and how we created light and shade within the planets and stars?
Y5 & Y6 Cookery Club
year6 teacher (R.Swift) on: Year 6 Blog
Last week in cookery club with Mr Swift we made vegetable fajitas. We learned how to use a knife to prepare vegetable safely and how to cook on a stove! The fajitas smelled delicious and they tasted great too!
Y6 - Bridge designers, architects and builders!
year6 teacher (R.Swift) on: Year 6 Blog
Over the past few weeks Y6 have been taking part in a project all about bridges in their Design and Technology lessons. We have been researching, comparing and discussing different types of bridges. We have been thinking about why and where they are used. Y6 had to design a prototype and build a bridge of their choice. They tested it's effectiveness (strength) by seeing how many coins it could hold. Great investigating Y6! Challenge - how many famous bridge designers do you know?
