Oak - Year 6
Welcome to Oak - Year 6!
Autumn Term
Year 6 is off to a flying start!
We’ve kicked off the year with the same energy and teamwork we bring to our weekly tag rugby sessions with the fantastic coach from Bishop’s Stortford Rugby Club. Whether we’re tackling tricky maths problems or sprinting across the field, we’re giving it our all and having a ball!
Taking Science to Heart: Dissecting the Circulatory System in Oak Class
In science this term, we are exploring the fascinating world of the circulatory system. During our third lesson, we learned how the heart pumps blood throughout the body by dissecting a lamb’s heart. Though slightly gruesome for some, this hands-on experience allowed us to see and identify key components, making the learning both impactful and memorable.
Oak Class Takes on Litter Pick: Guided by Our Eco Councillors!
This week (14/10), we have completed our first litter pick, following the instructions from our class Eco Councillors. We aim to do this weekly to make a lasting impact on our school grounds. As we continue learning about the importance of caring for the environment, we’re excited to take regular action to keep the playground clear of rubbish, which is home to many animals and plants. We aim to preserve the natural habitats within our school community.
Mud, Smiles, and Memories: Year 6 Takes on Norfolk Lakes!
At the start of Year 6, our students embarked on an unforgettable residential trip to Norfolk Lakes, filled with exciting outdoor activities. They took on paddle boarding across calm waters, scaled high walls in rock climbing, and tried their hand at fencing. One of the most memorable moments was tackling a challenging and extremely muddy obstacle course, where they showed great determination and teamwork. Take a look at the photos—they speak for themselves: mud, smiles, and even more mud! These pictures capture the joy and excitement as our both Oak and Maple embraced every challenge with enthusiasm.
Embracing the festive spirit, Oak Class proved that learning knows no bounds as they diligently worked on their Christmas cross-stitch projects during the coach journey to Duxford.
