Year 6 visited the Imperial War Museum after studying ‘War Horse’ in our English lessons. We further extended our knowledge of how animals were helpful in the war effort through an interactive tour of the museum.

Year 6 investigated what happens to their pupil when their eye is exposed to light.

Year 6 completed some art using Zentangle patterns to show the complexities within the human mind as we work towards building resilience when moving from our Red to our Blue head during trickier times.

Year 6 have been performing their war poetry to the class, showing the Waterside value of courage when reading aloud.

Year 6 used instructions with directional vocabulary to move their sightless teammates to a chosen location.
