2025-2026
Thank you EVERYONE! You made World Book Day a huge success this year. We had amazing costumes and wonderful activities with many prizes given out.
It really was a special day.
Year 6 have been having a brilliant time! We have been printing in Art in the style of Hokusai, problem solving in PE in our OAA sessions, flying over Volcanos with a VR headset and in science we even looked at a real pigs heart! We did this as we have been studying the circulatory system and having the opportunity to study a real heart was a lesson we won’t forget. So much going on and we are loving every minute!
We had a fabulous time at the Abbey yesterday at the Abbey Park Primary School Christmas service.
We hope you all have a restful break and we will see you in 2026.
Year 6 xx
On the 6th of December year 6 brought their history topic of ‘The Victorians’ to life by a visit to the Black Country Living Museum. We went down the mines, had a lesson in a Victorian classroom and explored the lives and homes of Victorian people. We had a brilliant time and all agree, life is much nicer today than back then!
In science we have been looking at light and conducted a shadow experiment to see how the distance between a light source and an opaque object affected the length of a shadow. We then recorded and analysed our results.
Year 6 have been looking at renewable energy sources and have made our very own wind turbines. We enjoyed this and looking at how to make out planet and its resources more sustainable.
Year 6 have been making their Greek Sandals – we tried them on today and some of them did actually fit!
Our new topic for this half term is… The Victorians.
We have some exciting sessions planned including a trip to the Black Country Museum.
For our first session we have created a timeline of the Victorian era and are already amazed at some of the facts we have found out.
Year 6 had the most wonderful day pretending we were Greek! We looked into philosophy, wrote our own Greek myths, made toilet-roll togas, cooked and took part in a recreation of the battle of marathon. We look forward to the next theme day and have thoroughly enjoyed learning about the Ancient Greeks.
As part of our Aspiration Curriculum we spent a whole day immersing ourselves in the job of ‘Clinical Psychologist.’ We learnt what the job entails and what skills and qualifications someone needs to become one.
We also welcomed two Clinical Psychologists in to the school who taught us so much more and made us eat a sweet soooo slowly!
Thank you Dr Ann and Dr Amy – you have definitely inspired some of our children!
Greek day today!
Greek Day was a huge success!
We have continued to create our Ancient Greek pots this week by looking at typical Greek pottery colours and patterns.
We hope you like them – they will be coming home soon!
In year six over the last week we have been creating Greek pottery in art for our history topic, Ancient Greece, classifying plants and animals in science and discovering what a growth mindset looks like in PSHE. We were given some challenges that we had to preserver in and also took a quiz to discover if we had a growth mindset or a closed mindset.
The children enjoyed our whole school text ‘The Lights that Dance in the Night’ and produced some fabulous pieces of writing.
In our topic lessons we have explored the myths of ‘Pandora’s Box’ and ‘Theseus and the Minotaur’ and used drama to retell some parts of the story.
We will now be looking at ‘The Invention of Hugo Cabret’ – a magical book which we hope will take us on a fabulous adventure.
Hello all and welcome to year 6 at Abbey Park Primary School. We hope you all had a fabulous break and are now ready to start an exciting year in year 6.
This first term we will be learning about Ancient Greece in our History and Geography Lessons.
We will be immersing ourselves in a whole school text ‘The Lights that Dance in the Night’ in our English Lessons.
We will be focusing on place value in maths.
We are really looking forward to a fantastic year.
