Summer Term Quest
Our Summer Term quest is called Fiesta.' Throughout the quest we will be in a party mood thinking about celebrations. We will be celebrating and looking in detail at the Ancient Maya civilization as well as looking at culture of life today in the Americas. We will be reflecting and celebrating our time at primary school as we look towards the future and transition to secondary school. We have a number of Fiesta moments including our residential to the Isle of Wight, Leogland Trip, Bikeability, Production, a leavers festival - it is a term of celebration!

Do you like our torches that we made in DT? We used our knowledge of electricity and circuits as well as light in science to design, plan and make our own torches to fit a design brief for a specific hero.
Our Class Charter
During transition day Mr Ridgway asked the children to select five adjectives from a Wordle that they would like to describe their time in Year 6. We then collated these adjectives to form our charter:
