Spring Term 1
This week we explored evolution and Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection, often described as “survival of the fittest.” The children took part in a beak activity to investigate which type of beak was best suited to different environments.
Racoons week 6
This week we made our CAM toys and used our problem-solving skills to get them to work. They all look brilliant. Well done, Raccoons!
Racoons week 5:
This week, pupils used drama in English lessons to explore emotions and understand how authors use literary devices to build suspense. In history, pupils explored the eight key events that led to the end of the war, using playdough to highlight how the Allies worked together.

Week 2, Racoons
fresh start of 2026. This week, we looked at primary sources of information by exploring a suitcase packed by a young boy and discussing what it tells us about his life when he was evacuated. We also listened to a first-hand account of evacuation and examined photographs to gather evidence about what evacuation was like.
Week 1, Racoon class
This week, we painted our clay pots, carefully decorating them ready to be given as gifts. The children took great pride in their designs, and we were so impressed with the final outcomes — each one beautifully unique and thoughtfully created.
Week 6, Racoons
This week, Racoons used clay during DT to make Christmas candle holders. Very impressed with this years creativity and skill using the clay! Well done everyone.
Week 5 Racoons
Year 6 had an amazing time during our parent event! The children tested their handmade Anderson shelters by ‘dropping bombs’ onto them to see which structures were the strongest. Although not all shelters survived, the class discovered that the parabolic arch provided the best protection.
We are incredibly proud of the whole class for their wonderful recorder performance and expressive dances. Well done, Year 6! Your enthusiasm, teamwork, and creativity shone through and made the afternoon a tremendous success
Week 4, Parent event
This week, we worked in our groups to design and make our Anderson Shelters. I wonder which group made the strongest shelter.
Week 3, DT
On our WWII Day we travelled back in time and became evacuees. In the classroom we learned what life was like for children during WWII, and then we went ‘shopping’ with ration books to see how hard it was to buy food. It helped us understand how different life was in the 1940s.
