Year 6 - Black History Month!

-


This month, Squirrels have been celebrating Black History Month - learning about key figures and events.




In Year 6 this week, we have focussed on 'Windrush'. The children have learnt a lot about the Windrush journey and the events that followed for the people of Windrush. In 6 Palm, we have even been reading 'The Windrush Child' by Benjamin Zephanniah.

In English lessons, children made an information leaflet all about Windush. In topic, children worked in groups to create posters about the event. In music this week, children have been learning about Jazz and focussed on different black music artists, including Nina Simone and Louis Armstrong amongst others.




Here is a selection of the great work we have been producing:

 It has been a great start to our adventures at Stubbers!  We went on a nature trail around a large lake, that we will be using later on today for water sports activities. We even managed to find some exciting equipment to play on along the way.  We are now eating our lunch, and getting ready for the fun this afternoon.  Keep checking for exciting updates!

What a great first day at Stubbers

After lunch, we all started our first activities. We all got to go on a climbing wall, with many of us reaching the top. We also got to try open canoeing or double kayaking, even though it was meant to be fairly dry activity many of us managed to get nice and wet. After our activities we found our tents for the next couple of days and then had our dinner, it was a very tasty bolognaise with fruit for pudding.  We are now waiting for our evening activity, the mini Olympics, then time for some well earned rest.  We will keep you updated in the morning. Keep an eye out.
