Minecraft for Education – lunchtime Club

Some of the Class 6 team have been busy setting up and running a Minecraft For Education lunchtime club. For this term, participants will just be children from Class 6, but we are hoping that once confident, our club leaders can then extend the club to younger children. The club has met several times and decided on a theme. They have been enjoying our writing unit so much that they decided to incorporate this into their project. After much discussion, they have decided to built a world based on our Science fiction unit and the model text, Alien Landing.

unit based on our model text “Alien landing”. We can’t wait to see the results.

Class 6 take part in an attempt to set a new Guinness World Record.

Today, Class 6 have taken part in an event organised by the National Literacy Trust and the British Council to set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the most people reading online in 12 hours.

The record attempt is part of the Take 10 to Read campaign in the National Year of Reading 2026 – and the message is simple: whatever you’re into, take 10 to read into it.

Class 6 were very excited to part of this event and were fantastic throughout the ten minute read! How exciting to be part of a world record attempt!

Alien invasion

Year 6 have had a morning of surprises. A discovery of strange stones and remnants of something extra-terrestrial, all covered in a strange green gloop!

The pupils spent the morning investigating this strange discovery, making predictions regards what it might be and from where it came! Lots of detailed observations and thoughtful discussions. The children are now hooked and ready to delve into the text, “Alien Landing”.

Learning with a Member of the House of Lords

This term we have been learning in more depth about democracy, rights and governance, including the way in which parliament works. This which has been helpful as the children have been able to apply their knowledge to their wider roles within school.

As part of our learning, we have had a teams call with The Baroness of Richmond, who is a member of The Houses of Lords. In preparation for the call, the children used their learning to prepare questions for her.

The Baroness was incredibly knowledgeable and had many interesting stories to share with the children.

Class Six Book Café

The children had time to sit in the cafe and try out new books and authors. It was wonderful to listen to them recommending books and reading them aloud to one another. To top it off, we had hot chocolate and a biscuit to enjoy whilst we read.
