It’s been another fantastic week in Year 6!

We are all very excited for our upcoming trip to Wales – the children can hardly contain their enthusiasm, and we know it’s going to be an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

Please don’t forget to check the Padlet for all important information and updates about the trip. This will help ensure everyone is fully prepared.

This week, the children also took part in a really engaging road safety session led by the Warwick Road Safety Team. They showed great focus and maturity, and we’re proud of how thoughtfully they approached such an important topic.

In addition, Year 6 did a fantastic job participating in and leading our Sports for All morning. They showed great teamwork, leadership and enthusiasm throughout, and it was wonderful to see their efforts celebrated by the whole school. What a great time they had!

As we head into the weekend, please make sure the children get plenty of rest so they are full of energy for Monday. It’s important that everyone arrives at school by 8:00am sharp so we can set off promptly and begin our adventure together.

We can’t wait for what promises to be an amazing trip away!

Another busy and productive week in Year 6! The children have been working really well and continuing to show great focus in their learning.

In English, the class have really enjoyed their work based around Shakespeare’s Hamlet, engaging with the story and sharing some fantastic ideas and discussions.

We also had a great PE session on Friday where the children developed and showcased their leadership skills. It was wonderful to see them working together, taking responsibility and confidently leading activities with their peers.

Excitement is definitely building as there is now just one week to go until our Wales residential trip! The children are really looking forward to the adventure ahead.

This week has been full of exciting moments for our Year 6 children. They were very pleased to receive their results from the recent mock SATs. We are incredibly proud of them all for the effort they have shown, and it has been wonderful to see their hard work paying off. It’s also exciting to think about how much more progress they will continue to make in the weeks ahead.

We also had a lot of fun celebrating World Book Day. A particular highlight was the shared reading time with their Reception buddies. It was lovely to see the Year 6 children supporting and reading with the younger pupils, showing great care and enthusiasm.

To finish the week, there was great excitement at the end of the day when the children received their Leavers’ Hoodies. They were thrilled, and these will definitely be a must-have for their upcoming trip to Wales!

Well done to all of Year 6 for another fantastic week.

What a fantastic start back to the half term!

We’ve had another mouth-watering week of Come Dine With Me, and we are absolutely blown away by the creativity, effort and presentation skills of our incredible chefs. The thought and care that has gone into planning, preparing and presenting each dish has been impressive. We may have some future culinary stars in the making!

In English, the children wrote excellent non-chronological reports about William Shakespeare. They worked hard to organise their writing clearly, include key facts about his life and achievements, and use formal language features. It has been wonderful to see their growing confidence in structuring information texts so effectively.

In Science, we thoroughly enjoyed learning about classification and the work of Carl Linnaeus. The children explored how living things are grouped and discovered how Linnaeus developed a system that is still used today. There were some fantastic discussions and thoughtful questions showing great curiosity and understanding.

We finished the week with a brilliant Eco Assembly followed by a recycling workshop. The children engaged thoughtfully with discussions about sustainability and how we can all make small changes to protect our environment. It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm and responsibility towards caring for our planet.

What a fantastic week it has been in Year 6!

The children have worked incredibly hard during their mock SATs and we could not be prouder of them. All staff were extremely impressed with how well the children approached the assessments, showing maturity, resilience and a positive attitude throughout. They should all be very proud of their efforts.

We also had a very successful start to Come Dine With Me. The children have shown great enthusiasm and creativity, with lots of shopping lists carefully prepared and ready for the weekend. We are really looking forward to seeing this project develop further.

We have an exciting final week of the half term ahead, which will be a four-day week for the children. The week will include an Air Ambulance Assembly, Ricky Dance, Safer Internet Day and our Lunar New Year morning. It will be a fun and engaging way to finish the half term.

Well done, Year 6 – another brilliant week!

This year we are undertaking Year 6 'Come Dine With Me' slightly earlier than usual. The children have really enjoyed planning their recipes and are now clear as to what they are cooking. The class is split into 3 groups - Starters, Mains and Desserts. Each child is in one of these groups. They know what they need to bring in on the day that they are cooking, all we ask is that THEY REMEMBER to bring it in!

The dates for the different cooking days are as follows:

Starters: Monday 9th February

Mains: Monday 23rd February

Desserts: Wednesday 25th February

All ingredients brought in must be egg and nut free please. The children are aware of this. The school provide the main ingredient for each course - red peppers, salon fillets and pineapple. Any questions, please do email or come and see us.

Please see the next post below about 'family favourite recipes' too.

We started the week by showcasing our amazing waistcoats in DT. The children put so much creativity and effort into their designs, and the final pieces looked fantastic. Well done, Year 6.

In PE, the children produced some incredible gymnastics based dance routines, using counter balances to create different mountain shapes and forms. They worked amazingly well in pairs, showing great teamwork, strength and control.

In Science, we continued learning about light. The children explored how light is refracted, meaning it bends when it passes through different materials. We also learned about Newton’s prism, which shows that white light is made up of a spectrum of colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

In English, we finished writing our brilliant letters inspired by The Journey. The children worked hard to improve their writing by using the technique “show, don’t tell”, adding detail and description to help the reader imagine feelings and events more clearly.

A reminder that Mock SATs take place next week. The children are really well prepared, and we are so proud of the effort they have put in. We know they will be amazing. Please ensure everyone gets plenty of rest and comes to school feeling calm and ready.

This week, Year 6 have had a thoughtful and engaging week of learning across the curriculum. We really enjoyed taking part in No Outsiders Week, where our learning was based around The Island by Armin Greder. The story explores how fear and prejudice can lead to exclusion, as a group of islanders reject a stranger who washes up on their shore, ultimately building walls to keep others out. The powerful illustrations and themes encouraged deep discussion, empathy, and reflection on inclusion and belonging.

In English, we began writing emotive letters inspired by The Journey. Pupils are nearly finished with their first drafts and are excited to see how editing and redrafting will help to further develop their writing and strengthen the impact on the reader.

We finished the week on a high with a hands-on science lesson, where pupils learned all about refraction, investigating how light changes direction as it passes through different materials. A brilliant end to a busy and inspiring week of learning!

Year 6 have worked incredibly hard this week, particularly in maths, where they have been developing their understanding and application of algebra. They have shown great perseverance and confidence when tackling increasingly challenging problems.

In English, the children produced some truly emotive pieces of writing inspired by the story The Journey. Their thoughtful language choices and depth of feeling were wonderful to see and reflected a strong understanding of the text.

In science, Year 6 have continued to enjoy their learning in the unit on light. They were especially engaged when designing and making periscopes, applying their scientific knowledge in a practical and exciting way.

On Wednesday, a large group of Year 6 pupils attended Young Voices, and they were simply amazing. Their behaviour was exemplary, and they were fantastic role models for the younger children who attended. We were so proud to be there with them and to see them represent our school so positively.

Well done, Year 6 — another brilliant week!

Welcome back and Happy New Year to all our Year 6 families.

What a great start to the term the children have had. Although we did not quite get the snow day many were hoping for, everyone still enjoyed a fun day in the snow. The field was left littered with multiple snowmen, showing just how much fun was had outdoors.

Back in the classroom, the children have returned with a fantastic attitude to learning. In English, they have begun their new book The Journey and have already shown thoughtful engagement and strong discussion skills. In maths, they have worked extremely hard on algebra, demonstrating focus, resilience and determination.

We have another exciting week coming up, with lots of children heading off to Young Voices on Wednesday, which we are all looking forward to.

Have a lovely weekend.

What a fantastic week it has been for our Year 6 class. They did a truly amazing job in the KS2 Christmas performance, reading their lines with such confidence and clarity. The girls who sang as part of the chorus were absolutely wonderful too, and their voices added so much warmth and sparkle to the evening.

The children also worked incredibly hard to finish off a great piece of writing, showing real focus and creativity. We were very proud of the effort and care they put into their work.

A real highlight of the week was watching their Reception buddies in their Christmas Nativity. Year 6 loved seeing the younger children shine on stage and enjoyed being part of their special moment.

Excitement is also building as they wait to hear the results of The Apprentice challenge. The results will be revealed next week and the anticipation is definitely growing.

Overall, it has been a brilliant week filled with achievement, celebration and festive fun. Well done, Year 6. 🎄✨

Throughout the week, they continued to show brilliant leadership as they ran Junior Joes for the rest of the school during lunchtimes. Their enthusiasm and positivity are making a real difference, and younger pupils are thoroughly enjoying the sessions.

On Friday afternoon, the class had a highly productive Apprentice project session with Mr Williams. Ideas are taking shape, teamwork is flourishing, and it’s exciting to see the projects developing so well.

This week, Year 6 demonstrated excellent maturity and community spirit. The class showed great respect during our Remembrance Day observance, with several pupils taking part in reading a poem to the whole school in the outdoor area ahead of the two-minute silence. Charlotte also performed a beautiful rendition of ‘I Vow to Thee, My Country’ on her violin as part of the whole-school service, adding a moving and memorable moment to the occasion.

Today, the children arrived bursting with colour, spots and Pudsey ears in support of Children in Need. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm and creativity on display for such an important cause.

A reminder that our Apprentice Challenge is now underway. Please ensure you have read the letter available under the Information tab, as it contains key details and deadlines for the project. Children should also remember to finish off their presentations ready for next week.

Well done, Year 6, on another positive and purposeful week!

IMPORTANT-Home Learning Presentations

Over the next week and a bit you will be working on your home learning presentations which will need to be ready by Monday 17th November. You can choose how to present your topic (e.g. poster, PowerPoint, or talking about an object or picture etc). Remember to choose a topic that you want to find out more about, plan your presentation so that you know what you are going to say, and leave yourself enough time to practise in front of a willing volunteer at home!

Please be ready to share your presentation topic title on Monday 10th November. If you have any questions about this home learning please come and speak to one of us in school sooner rather than later!

If you decide to create a PowerPoint, or use any other ICT, you can ask an adult to email it to admin2605@we-learn.com

Please try and keep file sizes to a minimum by compressing any images and avoiding embedding videos.

Make sure it is not similar to another topic you have previously done.

Good luck!

What an incredible week it’s been for our Year 6s! They have truly shone in so many ways. On our Open Morning, they were fantastic guides for prospective parents, welcoming visitors with confidence, enthusiasm, and maturity. They spoke so proudly about school life and received amazing feedback for the warmth and positivity they showed throughout the morning.

In the classroom, Year 6 have continued to impress with their creativity and dedication. This week, they produced a series of stunning themed Mayan posters, demonstrating not only excellent artistic skills but also a deep understanding of the topic. Their hard work, attention to detail, and teamwork really stood out.

A massive well done to every single member of Year 6 for completing their first half term. You have all settled brilliantly into your new roles and responsibilities and have shown such a positive attitude to learning.

What a busy (and slightly smelly!) week we've had in Year 6!

The highlight – and culprit for the lingering aroma in the corridor – was definitely making our own chutney! The children chopped, stirred, and cooked up a storm, and although the scent may have raised a few eyebrows! A big well done to all our budding chefs!

We were also incredibly proud of the way Year 6 joined in during the Harvest Assembly. Their respectful participation and beautiful singing helped create a lovely atmosphere of gratitude and community.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated cakes and treats to the PTA cake sale – your support is always appreciated and helps make these events so successful.

We are incredibly proud of Year 6 for their fantastic attitude and effort during their recent ‘Mock Mock’ SATs. The resilience and determination they demonstrated were truly impressive, and it’s clear they approached the challenge with a positive mindset throughout. As a class, they have really shown how focused and hardworking they can be.

In addition to their academic efforts, the whole class collaborated to produce a breath taking piece of art that is now proudly on display in the school. This beautiful work is complemented by a collection of stunning individual pieces, all created using the intricate pointing technique. The creativity and skill displayed by every child have been outstanding.

Following the Kenilworth School open evening, we received lots of lovely feedback from the children, expressing their excitement and enthusiasm about their future school journey. We will continue to support them with any questions or queries they may have as they prepare for the next steps ahead.

Well done, Year 6, keep up the amazing work!

We started the week with an amazing trip to Cadbury World, where the children were not only wowed by the wonders of chocolate making but also represented the school beautifully. A member of the public even commented on how polite, well behaved, and respectful our pupils were, a proud moment for all of us!

Back in school, we’ve continued our poetry focus, diving deeper into the powerful and thought provoking work of Matt Goodfellow.

Commando Joe's - letters to be in by Monday 22nd Sept

If you would like to be a Commando Joe's leader this year, you need to write me a letter explaining why you would be a great candidate for the position. Think about last year, when the previous Year 6 children were Commando Joe leaders - what attributes did they have that made them good at delivering the games each lunchtime? If successful, you will be in pairs and in charge of delivering the games to a year group each week!

Letters are to be written in your Home Learning Journal and in for Monday 22nd September. Good luck!

What a fantastic week it's been for our Year 6 pupils! They've continued to show real maturity and responsibility, with many taking part in Bikeability and growing in confidence on two wheels. Their House Captain presentations to the Mrs Braley and Mr Smith were truly impressive-spoken with passion, pride, and purpose.  We are sure whoever gets selected at captains and vice captains will represent their houses brilliantly. On top of all that, they've done an exceptional job supporting their ‘Reception Buddies, helping them settle into their first lunchtimes with kindness and care. Another great week of leadership, teamwork, and positivity.  Well done, Year 6!

All Year 6 pupils have made a brilliant start to the new school year, settling in beautifully over the past three days. They’ve shown great enthusiasm in their learning and have worked incredibly well with both their teachers. It's been wonderful to see them so keen to take on new roles and responsibilities to serve the school. They’ve also been a huge help in welcoming and supporting their new teacher, Mr Smith, as he gets to know life at our school. Well done, Year 6, we’re proud of you already!

Please plan a presentation for next Tuesday (9th Sept). This should be no more than 2 minutes long, and show Mrs Braley and Mr Smith why you would be the best candidate for Team Captain. Think about your leadership skills, and what other qualities you have! It does not need to be a power point, you can decide how you present it!

Each week on a Thursday you will be tested on 3 random tables. TTRS will help you prepare for this as it will automatically select tables that you find more difficult, so we encourage regular practice and will be monitoring this weekly. You have been set an assignment to complete at least 20 minutes of practice each week. Good luck Y6!

In Year 6, you don't have a reading diary. Instead, we ask you to write a reading review each week in your home learning book.

It is important that you read regularly as this will benefit your learning throughout Year 6 in a huge way.

Please note down the title, author, and page numbers you have read. Then write a short summary of your reading - this may include some key info about the plot, or an interesting fact. You may also wish to give your opinion of what you have read so far and predict what might happen next. You don't need to write any more than half a page - one or two paragraphs will suffice!
