UKS2 – Summer 1
The first half of the summer term has been an exciting and rewarding time for the children, filled with memorable experiences and hard work. One of the highlights of the term has been our history topic on the Victorians. The children have thoroughly enjoyed exploring what life was like during the Victorian era. They have learned about Victorian schools, homes, jobs, inventions, and the differences between rich and poor families during that time. It has been wonderful to see the children so engaged and eager to ask questions as they discovered more about this important period in history.
A particular highlight of the topic was our fantastic trip to the Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse. The visit gave the children the opportunity to experience history in a hands-on and memorable way. They explored the workhouse buildings, discovered what daily life would have been like for Victorian children.
Another major event during this half term was SATs week for our Year 6 pupils. We could not be prouder of the way they approached the tests with determination, maturity, and resilience. The children worked incredibly hard in the lead-up to SATs and demonstrated a positive attitude throughout the week itself. They supported one another, remained focused, and gave every challenge their very best effort. Their commitment and perseverance have been wonderful to see, and every single pupil should feel proud of what they achieved.
To celebrate the end of SATs week and recognise all of the children’s hard work, Year 6 enjoyed a well-deserved cinema treat. It was a lovely opportunity for them to relax, spend time together, and celebrate the end of an important milestone in their primary school journey.
