Year 6 Owls trip to Cliffe Castle
This was a fantastic day where we recapped our previous topic of Ancient Egypt, learning more about mummification and the treasures found in Egyptian tombs. We delved into the life of Charles Darwin and his Theory of Evolution. Everyone became scientists, getting hands-on with a variety of different fossils and using their enquiry skills to try and work out what creatures the fossils came from - we had some very interesting predictions. We also spent a lot of time improving our observational skills, learning how to improve our sketching through increasing the time we spend looking. The whole class produced some fantastic Darwin-esque sketches and were extremely interested in taxidermy. Well done Year 6, we hope this brought your learning to life.
As part of our RE curriculum, we went to visit Haworth Baptist church. We were lucky as Pastor Paul showed us inside the church and explained features to us. Before we went downstairs, to learn about the story of God's plan throughout the Bible. The children were very focused, they knew lots about characters in the Bible stories and asked relevant and pertinent questions.
Here's what exciting things we are learning in Year 6 this half term through our Evolution topic and the rest of our curriculum.
A super way to end this half term working with our Nursery Buddies!
A selection of pictures from this half term's food technology project - Pizzas. We have focussed on the skills of making our own dough, kneading, grating and baking. We have also thought carefully about food preparation and how to wash up! Keep working on these skills for life. Everyone really enjoyed their lunch over the half term and are looking forward to pasta and meatballs next.
This is our medium term plan for this half term - have a look to see what we are learning about in all aspects of the curriculum this half term!
A great start to the new term in Year 6!

As Mrs Startin is about to retire from Lees Primary School, she wanted to leave the children with a wonderful and memorable experience. They have all enjoyed time on the inflatable obstacle course which has been lots of fun! They've also enjoyed a cooling ice-pop which has been welcomed in the heat.
Mrs Startin and FoLees have shared the cost, so we would like to give them a very big thank you!
Into the Woods
A fantastic day for Year 6 when we all went Into the Woods!

Well done to our amazing Year 6! They have absolutely smashed their SATs and we couldn't be more proud of them. Great attitude, fantastic effort and plenty of determination.
They ended the week with lots of activities - from mummifying body parts to a full on Bake Off!
We would like to congratulate Year 6 on a fantastic swimming course. They have all worked incredibly hard and have all improved their swimming level.
Well done Year 6!
