Year 6

HSBC Finance Lessons

Over the past three weeks, we have been lucky enough to have Alice from HSBC in school teaching us all about ‘Money Matters’. We have had sessions on Fraud, being Super Savers and understanding how we would get paid in the future. The children thoroughly enjoyed finding out more about how we can save up for what we really want, instead of being payday millionaires!

Science Week

During Science week, Year 6 children created Water Clocks. This ancient method of recording time showed us the importance of accurate and repeat measurements. We investigated their origin and how methods of keeping time have changed over the years.

Northallerton Library

The Year 6 children thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Northallerton Library. They were told about the Dewey Decimal System for categorising books and were shown around the different areas of the library.

The children signed up for library cards and were introduced to the ‘Young Adult’ book section, containing lots of interesting books, comics, magazines and graphic novels.

Please can parents ensure that any books borrowed from the library are returned before any charges are added to your account.

World Children’s Mental Health Day

We celebrated World Children’s Mental Health Day with a range of activities that encouraged us to consider our thoughts and feelings. We thought carefully about how we could display the idea ‘My Voice Matters’ whilst sharing with our peers allow the things that we have in our heads. The bunting shows how we are all connected to one another, whilst the hands explain the positive feelings we want to hold on to, and the negative emotions we wish we could discard.
