What a great first half term we have had in class 11! The children have settled in extremely well and we have loved our first creative topic learning all about WW2 focusing specifically on the Blitz and the role of women during the war. 

As part of this topic, the children have built Anderson shelters, made gas masks and explored the 'Dig for Victory' campaign whilst learning all about winter vegetables. Our very own  'Fulwood and Cadley land army' have planted some vegetables in our school allotment and Polytunnel. We can't wait for these to grow so we can design a WW2 ration menu for class!

I have discovered that this Year 6 cohort love learning outdoors and our trip to Beacon Fell was a huge success! Even though we battled the weather, the children loved exploring the fell, building dens and orienteering maps to find hidden codes. We can't wait to do some more orienteering in and around our school grounds in the future. 

Pupil voice was an an extremely important part of the first half-term and our year 6 pupils spent time applying for the position of head boy and head girl. This post was so popular - we even appointed deputy roles too! We also asked all our year 6 pupils to apply for a role on one of our junior leadership teams:

• Environmental leaders
• Sports leaders
• School leaders
• Playground leaders

They have taken on their roles in a very mature, serious manner and have already become a wonderful part of our school leadership team.

The term ahead looks even more exciting as we begin our new topic ' Extreme Earth - Survival of the Fittest' which looks at Evolution, global warming and natural disasters along side sustainability. We have our Christmas celebrations  to look forward too and will also be joined by a student teacher, Miss Forsythe to support us in our learning until the Christmas break. 

Take care,

Mrs Livesey
