Autumn Term
'Hear the Call - Take Action!'
Year 6's vehicle for the autumn term is 'Hear the Call - Take Action'. The vehicle takes its inspiration from one of the key events in Year 6 - learning to be leaders. The children will take on a range of leadership roles across school. From House Captains and Special Friends to Play Leading and chairing the school community groups.
The children are going to be learning how their actions can impact positively on the lives of others and hear from key speakers from the school community, parish community and the local community. The children will then plan and take part in activities to make a positive impact. They are then going to hear from national and international groups to see how they can hear the call of the national and global community and use their experience from planning local actions to make a difference further a field.
Challenge 1 – How can we support and influence positively the school community?
Leading by Example
House Captains -The children prepared speeches to share with their houses. Those children in years 2-6 then met with the Year 6 pupil who spoke of the qualities, skills and talents they could bring to the role. Each member of the house then got an opportunity to vote for who they thought would be a good house captain.
Play Leaders - The children undertook play leader training so that they can engage and guide pupils in other year groups in fun and safe lunchtime activities.
Special Friends
Year 6 enjoyed meeting their Special Friends and will be writing letters to introduce themselves to their special friends family!
