Year Six – collective worship

Week 1 – Sharing the mercy of God with others

Today, we planned and lead our collective worship focusing on sharing Mercy with others. This week we have asked everyone to show compassion, empathy and kindness with other.

We reflected about what the world is like with mercy and what it could be like if we didn’t have mercy

Shackleton Drama

Today, we brought some of the images of Shackleton Journey to life through conscience alley and freeze frames.

We used illustrations from our class reader Shackleton Journey written by William Grill. We had a lot of fun adding our own conversations, thoughts and ideas to these images.

NSPCC number day

Learning about the NSPCC and using Real life maths.

We used our math’s skills to research the best value for in school and out of school treats for after SATs. We discussed the price of a coach, taking public transport or the possibility of being able to walk.

We now understand how expensive it actually is for 30 children to go out for the day.
