Year 6 DT project February 2026
Year 6 have been developing existing skills of textiles, as well as learning new ones this week. As part of our History topic on the Mayans, they have been thinking about how they made fabric. Year 6 found out about the importance of the loom weave in the making process and were able to use skills of weaving and pattern technique in creating their own weaves. Some children were able to produce two weaves and then use their knowledge and skills of joining and sew them together in order to create a pouch. Another great DT project. Well done Year 6.

Year 6 Houses of Parliament trip
Although we left very early this morning, the children were super excited about our trip into London today. Visiting the Houses of Parliament was something we were all looking forward to.
The children enjoyed a immersive video which talked about the history of the buildings before splitting into leadership and opposition groups and taking an informative tour.
As always, the children behaved brilliantly and listened to their tour guides, asking interesting questions and learning lots about this important London landmark.
November 2025
This week, Year 6 have been using their DT skills to design, make and evaluate a moving toy, using cams.
The children worked extremely hard: following instructions, using tools safely and combining their cut our materials.
We talked about cams, what they are and how they are used, before the children decided on what shaped cam they needed to create their required movement.
These structures will be on display in the KS2 library, but watch the video to see more.
Year 6 class assembly October 2025
Today, Year 6 performed the poems they wrote in our English lessons, for our class assembly.
They have been working hard on creating diferent types of poems about Technology and the impact it has on our lives.
Some children also participated in little role-plays to reinforce their understanding about Technology.
All of the children performed well in front of the whole school plus family members. Well done Year 6.
