Coventry Cathedral
On 20th February, we went to Coventry Cathedral. Our topic this term is WWII (World War 2) and this amazing building got bombed during the war. We saw many interesting things especially a bomb that was the size of a water bottle. It was very shocking as we didn’t know something this small could cause so much damage. We saw a church that got bombed but only the roof was destroyed not the building itself. There were also many things we got to learn about: what they used to wear, what rationing cards were, what people ate, the currency in the UK in the war and much more. It was a great trip and I would like to go to Coventry again in the future.

The Cinema : Wonka
On 30th January 2024, the year 6 children went to watch a movie at the cinema. It was Wonka! It was a long way from Galton Valley so we needed to go on a tram. It took a while, it felt like forever to me! The journey was Galton Bridge to Five Ways so it was about 10 stops but at last we were there, at our stop: Cineworld!!! Whilst we walked, we needed to go up a few flights of stairs and it was like we were in a maze. The movie was PG and it was 1 hour and 57 minutes but IT WAS THE BEST!! Chocolates everywhere! My favourite character was Willy Wonka played by the actor Timothee Chalamet. However, the Oompa Loompa was the best; he was just so tiny!

Jack and The Beanstalk
On 25th of January, we went to Birmingham Hippodrome to watch the… PANTO! It was exciting to watch as there was an actual comedian that appeared in the panto to make jokes (many were inappropriate jokes for us kids!).The main character was Jack and his family was poor so he sold a cow for a can of magical beans.Those beans made an… enormous beanstalk! Everyone was shocked because the beanstalk filled the entire auditorium. It was amazing!
Jake the comedian was my favourite character in the panto because he made lots of silly jokes that got us laughing. It was a great trip for us and we can’t wait to see another pantomime.

Art - Stephen Wiltshire
Year 6 enjoyed looking at Stephen Wiltshire’s cityscapes. They used his style to create their final piece based off images from around Birmingham.
English
Year 6 enjoyed learning The Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. The children were able to translate the poem and then use descriptive language to describe the Jabberwocky in a wanted poster.
Geography - The Americas
Year 6 were busy finding out about the countries of North America.
Year 6 were inspired by the work of Banksy. Children created a stencil based on current events. Once they had designed their stencils, they were cut and spray painted.
