Between January and May, Year 6 will be set their homework through their SATS revision booklets. Please see Marvellous Me for the homework page numbers.
Creation and Covenant
Year 6 have been learning all about the second account of creation in Genesis, The Fall and what this means for us today. We have looked at the relationship between science, the Big Bang Theory, and the first account of creation and how these support each other. We have focused on how The Fall impacts us today and how we can make amends for Original Sin. Year 6 have engaged in some fantastic discussion about this. 
To finish our learning in our Creation and Covenant topic, we ended with a celebration of the Word. We thought about the accounts of creation in Genesis and Exodus and our promises to God to be stewards of creation.
Prophecy and Promise
Year 6 spent the Advent season learning about the contribution of Women in the bible and identifying protagonists of Salvation History within the Bible. We enjoyed learning about key figures in the Old Testament such as Miriam, Deborah and Esther and how they contributed to Salvation History and also about Mary and her role as the Mother of Jesus. We celebrated the Advent season focusing on waiting for the birth of the Saviour who will free us from original sin as well as looking at the work of women within our modern religious community. We learnt about the lives of various religious orders and how they support our communities globally.
Galilee to Jerusalem
In the “Galilee to Jerusalem” unit, Year 6 explored the deeper meaning of key pieces of scripture, including the Wedding at Cana and the “I Am” statements of Jesus. They developed an understanding of how these passages reveal important truths about Jesus’ identity and mission.
The class also studied the seven sacraments, learning about their significance in the life of the Church. They examined the roles of priests, deacons, and bishops, and how each serves both the sacraments and the wider community.
To enrich their learning, the pupils had the opportunity to hear from Fr Simon, who answered their questions and shared his experiences of delivering the sacraments. This helped students gain a real-life understanding of vocation and service within the Church.
Celebration of the Word
Year 6 have been enjoying celebrating the Word of the Week through different pieces of scripture and thinking about how we can live these values out in our lives.
World Mental Health Day
For World Mental Health Day 2025, Y6 visited One Call Stadium, home of Mansfield Town Football Club where, supported by our Mansfield Town in the Community partners, we took part in mental health workshops. We looked at how exercise and nutrition can support and develop our mental health and were even treated to a special stadium tour!
Fairtrade Fortnight
We have taken part in CAFOD’s fairtrade fortnight focusing on the importance of fairtrade for our global family and what this means, Y6 collected some Fairtrade packaging to hunt our items that promote fairtrade as well as completing the CAFOD Banana Split game. Here we looked at the fair pricing for all involved in farming bananas.
Community Links with Broadleaves
For our Harvest donations, Y6 instead brought in flowers and gifts for our wonderful neighbours at Broadleaves. During our visit, Y6 made some new friends, talked about school life and the lives of our neighbours and found common ground with important members of our community. We look forward to developing our friendships as the year goes on. 
Tennis at Caunton
Some of our Y6 were given the opportunity to plan in a tennis tournament at Caunton Tennis Club. Y5 and Y6 represented school excellently.
New Books for the Library
Y6 were lucky enough to be the first class to access lots of new books brought for our school library. We enjoyed some reading for pleasure time looking at all the exciting new material.
The Amazon Rainforest Wow Work and Homework
Year 6 have been learning all about the Amazon Rainforest, its biomes, habitats and features. We are also looking at climate change and deforestation, linking to our Creation and Covenant RE topic. Here are some examples of WOW work and super homework!
We have spent time debating the points for and against deforestation and why we might need to cut some of the forest down. We discussed the detrimental effect this has on the world and concluded with our own opinions about the topic.
Revolution
In our Revolution History topic, Y6 have been learning all about the Industrial Revolution and the reign of Queen Victoria. We spent time looking at different inventions from the Victorian era and how they still shape our modern life as well as the lives of different types of people during this era. For our launch day, we went back in time and created a Victorian classroom!
A Child’s War
This history topic is all about WWII and the impact that it had on the people of Britain. We have launched our topic with an evacuee day where we learnt about what it was like for children in wartime Britain.
