Year 6 RG

^{Welcome to class 6RG!}

Welcome to superb 6RG! In Year 6, we cover a broad curriculum allowing the children to explore many books, think mathematically, write creatively and most of all… enjoy their learning. Have a look at some of the amazing things we have been doing in Year 6 so far...

6RG 2023-2024

Year 6 Leavers' Hoodies

Take a look at 6RG in our fabulous new Leavers’ Hoodies! 

Easter Egg Competition 

We had an 'eggsellent' time taking part in our Easter Egg Competition. Take a look at our finished designs, including our top 3 judged by Mrs Weightman.

Do something funny for money!

On Red Nose Day, we wore non-uniform in order to raise money for Comic Relief. The theme was 'Do something funny for money' so we all pulled our best funny faces! We also created posters and completed activities based on Red Nose Day. 

World Book Day 2024

For World Book Day we all came dressed in our pyjamas/lounge wear and brought our favourite books into read. We created book reviews based on our favourite books and enjoyed visits from other adults who read their favourite stories too. 

STEM Mathematicians Workshop 

We thoroughly enjoyed our STEM workshop where we explored the career of a mathematician through the wonderful world of self-similar shapes.  We explored repeating patterns in maths and in nature and created our own sierpinksi triangles.

Christmas Jumper Day

Take a look at our fabulous Christmas jumpers… we also enjoyed a delicious Christmas Lunch. 

Sugar Investigation 

As part of our Science topic we have been investigating the sugar content in different drinks. We made our predictions before weighing the sugar content in our chosen drinks. It goes without saying that we were rather shocked by some of the results!

RAF Stem Workshop

6RG thoroughly enjoyed their morning with Sarah who delivered a LEGO Education SPIKE Essential session. We started by working in teams to build the tallest tower and then moved onto working in pairs to build our own Moon Buggy. We had time to edit and change our designs. We then had a buggy race. Check out the photos and videos below! 

Fun in the Snow!

We enjoyed our Friday afternoon in the snow. We worked together to build our class snowman… meet Bob ☃️❄️☃️❄️

Letters home from the trenches

As part of our WW1 topic in English, we received a special parcel from our wife back at home. We enjoyed stepping into the shoes of a solider, describing life in the trenches. Take a look at our powerful, emotive letters back home to our darling wife Elizabeth. 

Making a model blood sample

In Science, we looked at the cells and nutrients in our blood by making a real life sample. We used yellow water to represent the plasma, cheerios and red food colouring to represent our red blood cells, white marshmallows to represent white blood cells and raisins to represent platelets. We looked at the function of each cell and discussed how blood is essential for good health. 

Halloween

We enjoyed Halloween crafts, making chocolate covered apples with sprinkles as well as a Halloween movie!

Visit from Paul Sturgess- Britain's Tallest Man!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit from Paul Sturgess (who stands at 7 feet 7 inches tall!) Our day started with an assembly where he shared his story. He inspired children that we should celebrate being different and everyone is unique. 

We also enjoyed a basketball workshop where he showed us some incredible basketball skills he learnt and used in a career that included playing for the Harlem Globetrotters.

Lego Spike

We enjoyed working in pairs to build the ''break dancer.'' We then experimented with timing and syncing the motion of the legs with the blinking light on the hub. We had the opportunity to programme with variables and data to add different sounds and notes. 

RAP Event- Reducing Accidents at Play

We had a great trip to South Shields Fire Station today to take part in the RAP event (Reducing Accidents at Play). We had the opportunity to visit different stations where we looked at many safety aspects we face everyday. 
 

A big thank you to Nexus, Road Safety, Tyne and Wear Fire Service, Active Travel, Northern Power and the RNLI. It was a fabulous afternoon!

Make Someone Laugh.

To celebrate Red Nose Day 2023 we, as a class, voted on the three best jokes and performed them in the Sea View Comedy Club. Sit back and enjoy the show...

Valentines Day Problem Solving

As part of our Valentines Day maths lesson, we worked together in pairs to solve a range of multi-step word problems. After successfully solving each word problem, we revealed a letter. After solving all 14 problems we had to put these words together to make a the title of a well-known love song...... the answer was...... Love is in the air!

The Boy at the Back of the Class

We are thoroughly enjoying reading our new class novel for this term... The Boy at the Back of the Class. 

Blood in our Body

In Science, we looked at the cells and nutrients in our blood by making a real life sample. We used yellow water to represent the plasma, cheerios and red food colouring to represent our red blood cells, white marshmallows to represent white blood cells and raisins to represent platelets. We looked at the function of each cell and discussed how blood is essential for good health. 

Halloween

We had a fun-filled day for Halloween in 6RG! We dressed up in our best scary outfits, carved pumpkins and created some brilliant Halloween crafts. Take a look at this all in action...

RAP Event 

We had an incredible trip to the fire station today to take part in the RAP event (Reducing Accidents at Play). We had the opportunity to visit different stations where we looked at many safety aspects we face everyday. 
 

A big thank you to Nexus, Road Safety, Tyne and Wear Fire Service, Northern Power and the RNLI. It was a fantastic day! 

Hello Yellow Day 2022

During Hello Yellow Day, we discussed the importance mental health. We created hope bubbles, created portraits in the style of Andy Warhol based on our emotions and even performed the song 'Happy' by Pharrell Williams. Check out our school Facebook page for the video! 

Team Building with Harton Transition Co-ordinators

We were lucky to have two teachers from Harton Academy, who are the transition co-ordinators, into school to carry out some team building exercises. We all worked well as a team during the different activities and shared what we think makes a good team. 

World Book Day

Today we celebrated World Book Day with a special Oscars theme. We came to school dressed in our very best outfits and headed straight to an Oscars after party where we walked down a red carpet and had lots of photographs taken. In Year 6 we nominated 'The Boy at the Back of the Class' for Best Children’s Story and created a nomination speech explaining what we enjoyed about the book and why it was up for nomination. We then made book reviews and rated the book out of 5! 

Children’s Mental Health Week 

We had a great day promoting Mental Health by enjoying ice cream and expressing ourselves by choosing our own clothes. We had the opportunity to discuss our feelings during a talk with the Mental Health Nurse and then created stars based on the various emotions we feel. 

Safer Internet Day 2022

As part of Internet Safety Day (8.2.22) we looked at the importance of staying safe online when gaming. We discussed different scenarios before creating our very own posters providing useful advice to people put under pressure as well as to people putting others under pressure during online games. 

Marvellous Maths- The Great Proportional Bake Off!

In Maths we have been solving problems involving proportion. To complete this unit we all took part in ‘The Great Proportional Bake Off!’ We were split into 3 groups- Cakes, Pies and Cookies and were each given problems to solve based on the recipes given. We even ended with a ‘Show Stopper Challenge’ where we had to work out how the recipe had changed and for how many people it would serve. Marvellous maths skills were shown throughout the lesson, Prue and Paul would be proud! 

Science- Sugar Content Investigation 

As part of our Science topic we have been investigating the sugar content in different drinks. We made our predictions before weighing the sugar content in our chosen drinks. It goes without saying that we were rather shocked by some of the results!

The Boy at the Back of the Class- Onjali Q. Rauf

Our class novel for this term is 'The Boy at the Back of the Class,' which is about a young refugee boy named Ahmet, who has recently moved to the United Kingdom from Syria. Unfortunately, he has not received a warm welcome from some staff, parents and children. We decided to write letters of persuasion to the Home Secretary, to encourage her to provide more support for refugees like Ahmet. Take a look at some of our fabulous writing... 

Superb Science... Making Model Samples of Blood

As part of our work on the circulatory system, we have been learning about how blood is essential for good health by making a model of a sample of blood. These are the steps we followed:

1. Firstly, we added water and two drops of yellow food colouring to a bottle to represent plasma, which is mostly water absorbed in the intestines from what we eat and drink. We added a sprinkle of salt to the liquid to represent the minerals found in our plasma.

2. Next we looked at red blood cells, which carry oxygen all around our body. They are the most plentiful type of cell in blood and that is why the blood is red. To represent this, we added cheerios with red food colouring and added it to the plasma.

3. To represent the white blood cells, we added some white marshmallows to the sample (this helps to fight infections). White blood cells are bigger than red blood cells and there are not too many of these found in our blood when we are healthy but once we get sick, our body makes more to protect us.

4. To represent the platelets found in our blood, we added raisins to the sample to represent the tiny round cells that will stop us bleeding if we get cut. 

At each stage of the experiment we also compared our items to the magnified images of the real items. 

Christmas Fun!

During Christmas week, we dressed in our festive jumpers and enjoyed a movie afternoon with hot chocolate and biscuits!

We hope everybody has a fabulous Christmas and a Happy New Year🎄🎅🎁

Halloween 

We had a fun-filled day for Halloween in 6RG! We dressed up in our best scary outfits, carved pumpkins and created some brilliant Halloween crafts. Take a look at this all in action...

Hello Yellow 2021

Look at us all dressed up to celebrate Hello Yellow Day! We discussed mental health and the importance of being able to express our feelings and emotions. 

The Battle of the Beaks!

As part of our Evolution and Inheritance topic, we looked at how adaptation may lead to inheritance in our 'Battle of the Beaks' investigation. We identified that certain types of food are suited to different beak shapes, depending on the environment in which the birds live. We now know that if birds are struggling to find a source of food, this can put them at risk of extinction.

Ruby's Worry 

During PHSCE week, we completed activities on the picture book ‘Ruby’s Worry’ by Tom Percival. We had the opportunity to discuss our worries and find ways to deal with them. We created worry jars, which included worries we have and then we created Worry-Buster Guides to find ways to shrink our worries.
