Year 6 Brunswick Park Primary School

Take a look at our creative lessons this week! Art lessons in class - online digital layering. Art workshop led by an artisit in residence - musical instruments with paper and corrugated card. Very impressive Year 6! @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

Safer Internet Day was a success with Year 6! Children had discussions around AI and responded to scenarios - offering advice through emails. @brunswickparkps.bsky.social #saferinternetday

Y6 would like to say a big thank you to Jenny Pengilly, our artist-in-residence, who helped our pupils create multi-player musical instruments out of recycled materials. We can’t wait to see how this all comes together in the form of a whole school orchestra!

As part of Safer Internet Day 2026, the children in Y6 have been exploring the safe and responsible use of AI: evaluating the use of AI in different scenarios; discussing appropriate responses to misuse; and learning about some of its limitations.

There was no treasure in the Tate Modern unfortunately but the amazing artwork more than made up for it

Year 6 take on Tate Modern. Treasure hunt to find particular art pieces showing layering! @tate.bsky.social @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

Year 6 home learning activities have set the bar really high! A 3D model of a beach and a detailed poster about the eye stand proudly in our class! @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

After learning about digital layering techniques through the online software programme, Kleki, pupils in Y6 have produced their own digital designs in the style of the artist Eric Gaskell @brunswickparkps.bsky.social
Off to the Tate Modern today to learn more about layering techniques in artwork.

Take a look at some of the fantastic writing in Y6 this week, based on the story of Hansel and Gretel from the Grimm Tales. Writing a first person narrative, pupils have been retelling the story, focusing on setting descriptions and use of dialogue.

Year 6 pupils provide regular peer to peer feedback and share with each other their strengths and areas to improve. To end the lesson, pupils present their writing to the class and read with pride! @brunswickparkps.bsky.social @literacypippa.bsky.social

The pupils in Y6 are really enjoying their science unit on ‘Light’ this half term. Lots of opportunities for practical investigations, exploring how shadows are formed and how light travels in straight lines.
@brunswickparkps.bsky.social

Year 6 are extremely focused as they navigate their way through Excel. Using each other for peer learning and showing resilience as they meticulously add data, Year 6 are becoming computing experts! @purplemash.bsky.social @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

Woooo! Sparkly, fresh brand new books for 6B! We are so excited to read them. We already have a waiting list! @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

In Maths this week, children in Y6 have been developing their understanding of how to multiply and divide decimal number by 10, 100 and 1000. They have created their own place value charts for support.

Thank you to all those parents (and children) who attended the Y6 information workshop sessions this evening on the KS2 SATs. We hope you found them useful. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you require any further information or support.

This week, in humanities, Y6 pupils have been learning about the physical and human features of the UK coastline. Using OS maps of Cornwall, they were then asked to write a tourist information guide for walkers! The National Trust could not have done a better job!

Pupils in year 6 are extremely focused as the create a labeled diagram of the eye and explain its functions. We look forward to observing our pupils change size in light and dark situations! @brunswickparkps.bsky.social #science #biology #observing

M&M Theatrical Productions perform Peter Pan to Brunswick Park Primary! The whole school had a fabulous time joining in with the pantomime atmosphere! What a treat! @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

Our Rights Respecting Charter is becoming well-embedded in Y6! This week we have been discussing our own responsibilities in relation to Article 24 - our Right of the Month - and presenting our views to the class
@brunswickparkps.bsky.social

Pupils @brunswickparkps.bsky.social have been writing amazing descriptive pieces of writing around the book 'Winter Sleep'. Year 6 wrote poems and explanation texts using noun of nouns, relative clauses and different sentence types. Well done, Year 6!

In Religion and Worldviews this week, pupils in Y6 have been learning about the views of secular groups like Humanists. After conducting online research, they fed back their findings to the rest of the class. A great opportunity to practise those public speaking skills!
@brunswickparkps.bsky.social

Practice practice practice! Every day, Yr6 practice perfecting their letter join. Stretching arms and fingers for gross and fine motor skills, interactive games, and writing- progress is made! @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

This week, the children in Y6 have really enjoyed reading the whole school text ‘The Winter Sleep’, a beautifully illustrated book on the subject of hibernation. So far, it has provided the inspiration for some fantastic poetry writing….
@brunswickparkps.bsky.social

And that's a wrap! Year 6 gave it their all this half term, and their winter performance shows just that! Enjoy the break everyone! @brunswickparkps.bsky.social

It's DecemBAR at @brunswickparkps.bsky.social with @whiteroseuc.bsky.social! Pupils deepen their understanding of percentages through pictorial representations.

In English lessons this week, pupils have been finishing their biographies of Anne Frank. Today they have been responding to feedback, editing and improve their writing - equally important parts of the writing process!
