This afternoon, Year 6 found out about the different views around creation. We started by reading and understanding the first Chapter of Genesis 1, then watched a video all about The Big Bang Theory, we then explored the different viewpoints surrounding the two theories and had a debate to discuss which theory they believed in the most. We had some excellent points added to the discussion! Well done Year 6!

Hallé Orchestra and World Book Day!

Year 6 have had a very busy and exciting week. On Tuesday, we spent the morning at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, watching the amazing HALLÉ FOR YOUTH - Cities of the World Concert and today has been World Book Day, where the children came into school dressed as their favourite books! They clearly all worked extremely hard and should be very proud of themselves!
