Today was the Great Ravensbury Bake Off in year 6 and I had the difficult task of tasting each one and then judging the top three. I had to Enlist help in the staffroom of my top six and together we decided 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
Well done to everyone who took part and thank you for helping your child to make the shortbread over the weekend.

We have such a busy week this week in 6JT!
On Tuesday, we had a workshop about the Windrush. We found out some facts about the HMT Windrush Empire and acted out some events.
On Wednesday we had an exciting day as Rabaz, the freestyle footballer, came back into school to do a showcase assembly and a skills workshop after.
All week year 6 have been doing assessments in maths, reading and Grammer, today we looked at numbers up to 1, 000, 000 and were able to explore place value using a human numberline.
Also during our indoor PE slot we tried to beat the time from last year doing the 'Wall Sit Challenge. They all tried really hard and we stretched after to help the muscles recover.

In 6JT today we were researching information about gas masks and we had a go at putting one on. We all understood why people must have hated wearing them during The Second World War after either attempting to put it on or putting it on for a minute. We cannot wait for next week when we find out about evacuation and then set off to Ghyll Head and develop some understanding how that might have felt for some children.

What an amazing day for year 6 today! A visit to the Bridgewater Hall to take part on Manchester's Big Sing. The children had an amazing time singing along to all of the songs. We were all blown away when we saw Miss Kent at the front as one of the lead singers!! She was awesome and she gave us a special shout-out. Our response was so loud she could hear us all the way from the back.

Today was our annual Ravensbury bake off. Well done to all the children who took part. I was very impressed with the effort you all put in (both adults and pupils).
I spend the morning break sampling them all and some were delicious! Miss Gallery had to come and assist me with my decision as it was difficult to choose the first, second and third places.
Congratulations to the three winners and well done once more to all the others for entering.
