Year 6 Geologists in Action!

27th November 2025Miss K. Wilkinson

This afternoon, Year 6 stepped into the shoes of real geologists — exploring, observing and investigating a whole range of fascinating rocks.
They got hands-on: feeling textures, studying crystals, comparing colours, testing durability, and then working together to sort and categorise each rock like true scientists.

The curiosity, teamwork and brilliant scientific vocabulary on display were incredible.
It’s amazing to see our pupils becoming such confident thinkers and investigators!

Well done, Year 6 — the world is full of rocks waiting to be explored, and you’re already experts!

My life as a water droplet…

16th October 2020Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 6 have been learning about the Water Cycle. We tried to write a diary as a water droplet using vocabulary related to the topic. I think the children have produced some very imaginative work.

Will we ever see the water we drink again?

15th November 2019R Smith
This term our geography enquiry question was  ‘Will we ever see the water we drink again?’
As Geographers, we discovered where water sources are in our local environment by using ordnance surveys. We learnt about the relevance and importance of the water cycle and how all the water in our world in continuously recycled. We investigated climates around the world and used maps and atlases to identify key features. Finally, we explained how human activity has caused our environment to change by looking at the preferable use of renewable energy, such as hydro power.
Within this topic, we set the children a homework task to complete a water project. The children created all sorts of wonderful creations to express some of the aspects they had learned. We had power points, posters, books and creative models. We invited our parents and carers into school where the children shared their fantastic masterpieces.
