Year 6 Knockhall

Year 6 residential was an absolute blast! From axe throwing 🎯 to roasting marshmallows by the campfire 🔥, we had the time of our lives! So grateful for this unforgettable experience and the incredible memories the children made for life. @SayersCroft_

Here’s a little recap of our trip last week to Kent Police Open Day. The children got to sit in a police car, sounds the sirens, watch a police dog show and they even went inside a real police cell. Lots of children came away with a dream of one day being a police officer.

Huge shoutout to our amazing Y6 students for their phenomenal production of Matilda 📚 I couldn’t be prouder of their hard work, talent and dedication. They brought the characters to life, wowed us with their singing and dancing, and left us all in awe. Well done superstars 👏

And the champions of our KS2 Sports Day are…Dover House!🏆🔵 Huge congratulations to the unstoppable Y6 athletes for their outstanding performance and relentless spirit. You’ve made history as the last Y6 Sports Day winners. 🥇 Way to go, Dover House! 👏 #KS2sportsday @khpsport

Today we took a train into London and went to visit The Tower of London. We saw the Torture Chambers and the Armoury section amongst many other attractions. Unfortunately, there was an hour wait to see the Crown Jewels, so we were unable to see them this time. @TowerOfLondon

We created our own maths board games this week. Today the children started to make them. We cannot wait to play them tomorrow.

We welcomed Councillor Lorna Cross to KHP yesterday, our students took part in a poetry competition last Autumn. We had a winner of our very own in Peacocks Class. Congratulations!!

This term year six will be learning about a successful animal called a Triops. Today we set up a tank and hopefully raise some Triops from eggs to fully-grown.

Our year six children have been learning ombré skills in art, focusing on graffiti artist Banksy #graffiti #banksy #stencil

Rock n Roll! It was World Maths Day yesterday, KHP dressed as rock stars and battled it out on TTRS. Students were overjoyed as they beat the teachers! #worldmathsday #ttrs

Today we wore red for @comicrelief and green for #StPatricksDay2023. We also had lots of fun this afternoon cheering everyone on in our very own Knockhall’s Got Talent. Our Head Teacher Mrs King came out as alter ego Honey T👏👏

Today at KHP we had the pleasure of meeting author and illustrator @chrisriddell50 Thank you for our signed picture. ✍️📚

Some pictures of our fun packed World Book Day 2023. 📚 We had a mix of pyjamas and favourite book characters. Peacocks also read to our Year One children.

Year six Big Bang Day literally started with a ‘BANG!’ We have been looking at ‘The Highway Man’ poem for our Crime and Punishment topic. @TimeCapsuleEd

Take a look at some of the poems that year six have been writing this week. Our topic this term is Crime and Punishment. We have been studying the book ‘Holes’.

This week year six have been designing their own Off-Road vehicles, we have a few potential future industrial designers. @BBC_TopGear @KnockhallSch

Year six have been researching The Antarctica and created leaflets encouraging tourists to visit.

Year six spent this week enhancing their knowledge around coding using the iPads. #apple #coding @KnockhallSch

Year six enjoyed kicking of this term with their ‘Big Bang Day’. They spent the afternoon making survival tents using the natural resources they had available to them.

We used the iPads this morning to work through problems in pairs. It was also a lot easier to write with our new stylus pens,
