You couldn’t get any more hands-on than Y6 today! Hearts were squeezed, prodded, stretched, sliced, chopped and examined to enhance our knowledge of the circulatory system.

The focus of the learning was to explore the concepts of prejudice and discrimination through movement. By exploring this challenging topic, pupils worked together to demonstrate the emotions that surround prejudices. Pupils then took a closer look at the impact of acting on this prejudice (discrimination).

Year 6 visited the Laing Art gallery in Newcastle city centre. We were invited to look around the gallery and experience the wide variety of paintings and sculpture displayed there. We were also lucky enough to experience the temporary exhibition of the work of Nerys Johnson, a local artist whose work we have been studying.

We carried  out a class Liturgy entitled ‘Loving’ to mark the end of our first RE topic of the year.   Father, creator of all, you ‘ordered the earth’ to bring forth life and crowned it's goodness by creating family life. Teach us the beauty of human love, show us the value of family life and help us to live in peace with everyone. Amen.
