Welcome to Class 6.
During the Autumn Term our second history based topic is 'World War One'
Our learning question is 'Why do we remember WW1?'
Class 6
Last half-term Class 6 enjoyed a Victorian visit to Quarry Bank Mill. In our history lessons we have been finding out about the jobs poor Victorian children had to do including jobs in the cotton mills.
During our visit to Quarry Bank Mill we tried out the different jobs and experienced the deafening mill machines. We then became apprentices for the afternoon and visited where the apprentices would live. We were taught a lesson in the Victorian school room, had to make our own uncomfortable bed and even change the chamber pot-disgusting!
Class 6 Quarry Bank Mill Visit
During the last week before half-term all of the children took part in our whole school 'sixty-second' science week. During one of the afternoons Class 2 worked with Class 3 and Class 6 children carrying out 60-second scientific investigations.
On Friday afternoon parents and St John's governors were invited into school to find out about our science week.
