This half term, Year 6 have been learning about Sikhism; most importantly, why are Gurus important and what do they teach Sikhs? Pupils have had the opportunity to explore Guru Nanak and Guru Arjan and we will then be looking at the Gurdwara and important values in Sikhism. Throughout the unit, pupils have/will have the opportunity to share their own beliefs and make comparisons / links between Sikhism and other religions.

Sit Right Near the Driver: If the bus is empty or it’s getting dark, sit downstairs right behind the driver. If someone is being mean or making you feel scared, DO NOT get off the bus in a random place. Stay right where you are near the driver because they can call for help on their radio and the bus has cameras everywhere!
Show That Green Zip Card: Always have your Green Zip Card ready in your hand or a handy pocket before the bus even gets there. If you have forgot it, it is okay - just tell the driver and they will let you on. Never use someone elses.
Don't Be a "Phone Zombie": It’s fun to play games or listen to music, but keep your phone tucked away in your bag or pocket when you don't need it. If you have headphones on, keep the volume low so you can still hear what’s going on around you. If you need to use your phone, check it by a wall or window.
Know Your Stop: Before you even leave your house, tell someone and check when the bus is coming so you aren't standing around at the bus stop forever. Try to stand under the streetlights where people can see you!
This half term, Year 6 have completed an art project over two weeks which will then be shared with parents.
The level of attention and detail the pupils have put into their artwork has been inspiring. We looked at different artists and learnt what inspires them, practised drawing our portrait, built a layered background and then put all of the finishing touches together.
On the 10th and 11th February we will be holding an 'Art Gallery' of the children's framed pieces of work! You will also be able to purchase them - more details to come.
