Welcome to Oak & Elm
Year 6
World Book Day 2025
We had a fantastic day yesterday for World Book Day!
We took part in the Premier League Footy and Booky quiz, had a book character battle/created book character top trumps and had a cosy afternoon – listening to different adults across the school reading a book.
World War 2 – Evacuation Day
Year 6 had a wonderful time yesterday for their World War 2 themed evacuation day.
We baked a ration recipe of wartime carrot cookies – the children thought these were delicious!
We repaired some of our old clothing as well as thinking about how clothing can be repurposed.
We created models of Anderson shelters and thought about why people had these.
We played games that children in World War 2 would have played – some of us even learnt a new game!
We learnt about the importance of digging for victory and planted broad beans which we will be bringing home to grow once they have started to sprout. Then, we made digging for victory posters to promote the government scheme.
Overall, the children had a fantastic day and were very disappointed and have even asked to do it all again!
