Year 6 - St Teresa

10th and 11th October 2024

Year 6 Woolwich Garrison Church 

On Thursday and Friday Year 6 had the fantastic opportunity to go to St George’s Garrison Church in Woolwich. The Garrison church was bombed in the Second World War with only the altar, the crypt and the skeleton of the church remaining. The children were given a talk by the Chairman of the Woolwich Garrison Church Trust Tim Barnes. They were given the history of the church and why it was such a special place. The children were then given the opportunity to complete a treasure trail looking for clues and answers to the questions around the church. It was a wonderful day, full of History which all of the children really enjoyed. 

  

Townley Grammar Science Visit

Today our Year 6 class were lucky enough to partake in a workshop facilitated by staff and students from Townley Grammar School where we delved into the intricacies of the human heart and circulatory system. The visit was designed to provide an immersive learning experience, combining hands-on activities with interactive demonstrations to deepen the students' understanding of these vital biological processes.

One highlight of the visit was when students got to examine a real heart, allowing them to observe the chambers, valves, and intricate network of blood vessels up close. Guided by the knowledgeable students and teacher, the children were encouraged to ask questions and explore the inner workings of the heart. Another engaging activity involved a simulated journey through the circulatory system.

The visit concluded with a Q&A session where students could reflect on what they had learned and ask clarifying questions. Many expressed newfound fascination with human biology and a deeper appreciation for the intricate systems that sustain life.

Overall, the science visit from Townley was a resounding success, blending education with excitement to inspire a new generation of budding scientists and health enthusiasts. By engaging students in hands-on learning experiences and interactive demonstrations, the visit left a lasting impact, fostering curiosity and understanding of the marvels of the human body. A big thank you to everyone who made it possible.
