October was Black History month and the children in 6C spent some time researching interesting and important black people from British history. Many of these individuals were unknown to the children so it was great for us to learn about their contributions. Thank you to Luna and Daniel for sharing their work below.

This week we had a great music lesson exploring the different elements of music using a range of percussion instruments. We demonstrated elements such as pitch, dynamics and texture (among others) through our performances.

Yesterday, Year 6 were introduced to their World War II history unit with a trip to Eden Camp. This is a former POW camp which has been turned into a WWII museum. We had a lot of fun exploring the huts and saw lots of amazing exhibits. Everyone is now very excited to begin learning about this fascinating topic in school.

Welcome back everyone, and welcome to our new 6C class! It has been a whirlwind first couple of weeks here at ACE and Year 6 has been extremely busy!

Firstly, we have been on our annual local area visit to the Meanwood Valley Trail. This trip links with our work in science, writing, geography and reading for the first few weeks of term and we had a fantastic time exploring the woodland while improving our geographical fieldwork skills.
