We are writers in Crew White
At the same time as preparing for the rigorous SATs assessments in reading and maths, us Year 6s have been busy producing some high-quality writing. We are currently at our final stage of the writing process, which is publishing our writing. We’ve read suspense stories, planned them, written them, edited and now we are almost ready to present our beautiful work!
After taking inspiration from the short film, ‘Francis’, we wrote sequels. When complete, these will be displayed in Crew White so be sure to pop in to have a look!

Festival of Sports
Thank you to those families that were able to attend our fun, albeit damp and drizzly, Festival of Sports yesterday afternoon. The final sporting afternoon for our Year 6s was filled with obstacle races, sprinting and the obligatory egg and spoon race!
Our Personal Highlights
In Crew White, we have been reflecting recently on the learning that we are most proud of. We looked through our learning journals and then picked out some outstanding pieces. Many of these were our non-chronological reports but there were also science investigations and reports, challenging maths learning and Tudor portraits. Take a look at what we are most proud of!
Science Investigation: Exercise and Heart Rate
In Crew White, we’ve been investigating the effects of exercise on the heart. We completed a full science investigation including prediction, method, results, presenting results and a conclusion. We chose which two exercises we would do, with the second being more intense than the first. We measured our pulse rates and then wrote up our investigation.
