We made it!
Congratulations to all of year six as this was a tough term. Mrs Owen, Mrs Mckewie and I are all so proud of you, I hope you are immensely proud of yourselves.
Project Work
This week we explored aviation we completed computing, history and design based on this theme. Year six loved taking part, thinking of questions and researching their answers.
English
We have been completing writing tasks for our SATs writing assessment. The class chose someone who altered the course of history, researched them and made information leaflets about these people. Students chose to research many interesting figures such as; Martin Luther King Jr, The Wright Brothers and Ebenezer Morley.
RE
This week we have been deepening our understanding of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. We have been studying the Early Christian Community, the effect of the Holy Spirit and God sending angels to help those imprisoned. The class then looked into ways they could be a disciple of Jesus.
Drug Talk
On Thursday Lancashire Constabulary visited our class to inform us about drugs and how to stay safe as we grow up. PCSO Savage was very informative and provided us with lots of information and examples of what was illegal and how to protect ourselves.
Poster Competition
Smoke-Free Parks Campaign
Since 2012, Blackpool Council have implemented voluntary bans in Blackpool parks. The introduction of smoke-free parks provides an opportunity to help create a cultural shift towards ‘not smoking’ being the norm. This establishes fewer public spaces where people can smoke, challenges the myth that smoking is a normal activity that most people do, and helps children and young people realise that it is not normal for people to smoke. We will be implementing new and improved smoke-free park signs across Blackpool play parks and need your help to support this campaign which will empower children across Blackpool to reclaim their spaces.
Poster Competition
We would like to invite Blackpool Primary Schools Key Stage 2 to take part in a Public Health competition to design an A4 poster for Blackpool Smokefree Parks. The winner will hopefully get to see their poster in Play Parks across Blackpool and will also win £250 in vouchers for their school. Please hand in your posters to school.
