Our Year 6 Diary - Autumn 2025

Our exciting learning and memorable experiences in Year Six have enjoyed in the Autumn Term.

Zoolab Visit
One of the standout moments was our visit from Zoolab, which linked perfectly with our Geography unit on Brazil. The children were thrilled to meet a range of fascinating creatures, including Giant Land Snails, a Tarantula, and even a snake! Many pupils were brave enough to hold some of these animals, making the experience both educational and unforgettable.

World War I Learning
Our History work this term focused on World War I. We explored this topic through reading Michael Morpurgo’s Private Peaceful, which sparked thoughtful discussions about life during the war. The children also produced some excellent writing, including a newspaper report about the famous ‘Christmas Truce’ of 1914. In addition, our Remembrance Day activities provided a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made during the conflict.

UK Parliament Week
To coincide with UK Parliament Week, Year Six were privileged to welcome our local MP, Dr Jeevun Sandher. The children had an exclusive audience with Dr Sandher and asked insightful questions about politics, the distribution of wealth, and his personal experiences. It was a fantastic chance for pupils to see democracy in action and understand more about how our country is governed.

RE: Creation and Science
As part of our RE unit on ‘Creation and Science,’ we were visited by a group of practising Christian Scientists. The children had prepared thoughtful questions, and the visitors provided detailed answers, helping pupils to explore different perspectives on faith and science.

It was a busy and rewarding term, and we are incredibly proud of the curiosity, enthusiasm, and hard work shown by Year Six. We look forward to an exciting Spring term ahead!
