SATs Parent Meeting - February 2026
Students in Year 6 explored artistic expression today through a creative project inspired by Alma Thomas's distinctive artistic style. By utilizing Lego as their medium, students demonstrated innovative approach to interpreting visual art concepts. The students translated Thomas's characteristic color blocking and abstract geometric techniques into a three-dimensional representation, showcasing their understanding of artistic principles and creative thinking. 🎨🧱
For NSPCC Number Day, Acer Class took part in a range of fun and engaging maths activities. The children explored real-life problem solving by comparing different mobile phone contracts and deciding which option offered the best value based on a given scenario. They also enjoyed designing their own creative maths-themed T-shirts, combining numeracy skills with imagination.
Acer Class have had a fantastic day today welcoming the Mobile Police Museum into school. This morning, the children took part in an engaging police history talk, where they explored fascinating exhibits from across the decades. There was a particular focus on World War 1 and World War 2, which the children found really interesting. After break, we enjoyed a range of hands-on activity stations, including:
• Trying on real police uniforms, including WW2 capes and a variety of headgear from past to present
• Fingerprinting activities
• Taking mugshots
• Using vintage telephones to listen to real 999 calls from children and an original 1950s soundtrack explaining how to make an emergency call
• Exploring real police radios After lunch, the classroom was transformed into a Crown Court! The children took part in a mock burglary trial, with different roles such as judge, jury and witnesses.
They learned all about the justice system as the case was heard and worked together to reach a verdict. If found guilty, the class discussed appropriate punishments based on different time periods in history, which sparked some brilliant debate and thoughtful discussion. The children also explored justice-themed exhibits, including prison clothing and historical artefacts such as a Victorian Newgate Prison ball and chain. The children were fully engaged throughout the day and asked lots of insightful questions. It has been a wonderful opportunity for them to learn about the history of policing and justice in a fun, interactive and memorable way. A big thank you to the Mobile Police Museum for such an exciting visit!
