Welcome to Class 6!

We have had a lovely first week settling into our new class.

Next week, we will be electing this year's House Captains! Everyone will have the opportunity to stand for election. We have asked all the children who want to take part to prepare a short presentation to deliver to their house next Wednesday. This could be in the form of a speech, PowerPoint or poster. The children will be expected to think about what they would like to achieve as House Captain but also what qualities they have that would make them a good candidate.

We can't wait to hear them!

Here are some of the candidates presenting their manifestos to their houses. They all did very well!

Everyone who put themselves forward for House Captain elections did us proud. It is certainly not easy speaking in front of your whole house! On Friday afternoon we announced the successful candidates:

Addison:

Chiara and Tabby

Stephenson:

Niamh and Harry

Rutter:

Fearne and Nathan

In Science, we have been learning about light. We decided to make our own shadow puppets and put on our own shows!

Here we are reflecting light with our mirrored headbands!

This week we have been learning what is would have been like to be evacuated. Doing some drama and writing some stories. We will share some of our work here later.....

Here are some of our poems about evacuees.
