Term 1 - Who Let the God's Out - Maz Evans

We have had a super start to the year with our new Year 6s.  They've started the year off really well and are ready to learning.  They are already being good role models as they are now the oldest children in the school.  

Our first topic this term is based around the book Who Let the God's Out by Maz Evans and our primary focus is Ancient Greece.  Please see below for a synopsis of the story and an overview of what we will be learning in each subject this term. 

 Who Let the God's Out Synopsis

When a shooting star crashes to earth, it lands Elliot smack bang in the path of Virgo - a young Zodiac goddess on a mission. But when the pair accidentally release Thanatos, a wicked death daemon imprisoned beneath Stonehenge, they’ve got nowhere to turn for help but to the old Olympian gods.

These gods are used to getting their own way and they’re more than capable of creating a little chaos themselves. After centuries of cushy retirement on earth, are Zeus and his crew up to the task of saving the world - and solving Elliot's problems too?

Class News

Friday 3rd October 2025

Thank you to all that could attend our class assembly today, we really enjoyed performing for you all.  We retold the story of Theseus and the Minotaur as this has been a focus for our English lessons over the last few weeks.  We used the basis of that story to help us develop our own Greek myths.  These are now finished and we have published our favourite parts of our stories which will be going up on display outside our classroom very soon. 

D.T. Update

In D.T. we have started our textiles unit of work.  We spent the first lesson looking at a range of different textiles that exist and exploring the different ways in which pieces of fabric had been joined together.  We then moved on to having a go at a number of different stitches ourselves - running stitch, back stitch, cross stitch, zig-zag stitch and a blanket/whip stitch.  We all even managed to successfully secure a button to a piece of fabric.  Check out the photographs of us below having a go at our stitching.  In our latest lesson we have learnt about pattern pieces and looked at how to create a pattern piece of our upcoming project.  Next week we are going to be creating our own drawstring bags.  We will be using the sewing machines for these.  We will come back to our hand stitching next term!
