Race Around the World!

Date: 24th Jan 2024 @ 2:27pm

IMG_3463.JPGThis week we looked at some geopgraphy and explored our Race Around the World project in our CC lessons. 

The children reminded themselves of the 4 cardinal compass points (N,S,E and W) and learned about the 4 intercardinal points (NE, SE, SW, NW)

We used this knowledge to locate our project checkpoints in an atlas, plot the direction of travel and decide which countries we would pass through on the way to our destinations. 

The children really enjoyed using the atlases and finding out more about the World's geography

Diwali comes to 6DL

There are some amazing actors in 6DL as well as some incredible dancers! Well done everybody

Year 6 at the Big Sing

Date: 16th Jun 2023 @ 4:28pm

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.

Learning the Lindy Hop Dance

Date: 14th Sep 2022 @ 11:33am

This week we launched our new topic about life during The Second World War. We started with a dance, where the children all had to learn an old fashioned dance called the 'Lindy Hop'. They did very well and had a chance to practise. As you can see from the photographs below, they all had a great time. 

A Peaceful protest for Climate Change

Date: 17th May 2022 @ 2:59pm

Year 6 took part in a peaceful protest to raise awareness of Global Warming and Climate Change. They made amazing banners to use when marching around the school grounds. They attracted a lot of attention because they made the decision to hold their protest at the same time as the school cake sale. This had a big impact as there were a lot of people around. We are so proud of the children in both year 6 classes for showing so much passion and dedication to 'making a change' for the better. 

Gymnastics 6DL

Date: 24th Mar 2022 @ 1:34pm
