Keep Calm and Carry On
Dear Parents and Carers,
After a superb week at Osmington Bay where the children were just fantastic in all respects, we have come back to the classroom with great curiosity to learn more about our topic of ‘Keep Calm and Carry On.’
We had a lovely visit from Mr Stiles this morning where the children listened intently to his talks about living through the Second World War as a young boy. They were shown so many artefacts from the war as well as rationed food items for the children to discover just how little adults and children got to eat for a week in the wartime. They were also allowed to pick up and ask questions about about gas masks, including special ones for babies, and shrapnel and German bullets collected by Mr Stiles.
Our learning about WW2 will be deepened with two further events for your children to experience: the baking of a Woolton pie and Evacuation Day. Children will bake a Woolton pie in groups from November 25th to December 2nd. They will bring a letter home this week which will let you know what day they are cooking and the ingredients they need to bring in for their group. Evacuation Day will be held on Friday 6th December and a letter to explain this day is attached. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
Our PE days for this half term are Mondays and Wednesdays.
We are looking forward to a great half term of learning and the excitement that Christmas brings. Thank you for having such wonderful children who were such lovely company on our residential trip.
Best wishes,
The Year 6 Term
