Imperial War Museum November 2025
Year 6 had a wonderful day at the Imperial War Museum in London. The day began with snow, while we waited for our train. After two train journeys, and a cold walk, we arrived at the museum. The children spent a long time looking at artefacts, videos and exhibitions. Year 6 really enjoyed looking at all of the vehicles, uniforms and joining in with an interactive exhibit. We even had time to look at the First World War exhibit and trenches. The children were immaculately behaved and we even received an email from another passenger on the train praising the class for their behaviour and manners!
Autumn 2: A Child's War
We started this topic looking at artefacts from World War 2. We created gas masks and evacuation labels. It was quite hard to decide what we would pack in our evacuee suitcase! In history we have looked at the events leading up to the start of World War 2.
Frozen Kingdom Autumn 1
We have really enjoyed this project and the children have worked incredibly hard. We have learnt about the sinking of the Titanic and the Polar regions. We have baked our own bread rolls in DT as well as created electronic games. The electronic games were created with the Ash Manor DT teachers. In RE, the children have really challenged themselves by thinking about The Trinity and what that represents. We have also taken part in The Take One Picture project. Year 6 have had an impressive and very busy half term!
Frozen Kingdom!
Welcome to Year 6! What a wonderful start to the year with the children receiving their ties and their special roles. We began the topic learning about The Titanic. Some of the class were able to sit in 'First Class' while others had a less comfortable time in third class. We spent the afternoon tasting different types of bread including rosemary and sea salt focaccia and sun dried tomato bloomer. We have started writing diaries based on the polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott and in geography we will be comparing the Arctic and Antarctica.
