Our theme this term is ‘What a day to be me!’

We will focus our topic on the core value of kindness, fairness and acceptance.

In the kindness section, we will be writing kindness themed poetry and take inspiration from ‘Rhiannon Art’ to illustrate our poems. We will display our poetry and artwork in Caerphilly Library. We will also look at how children were evacuated to safety during WW2 and the kindness shown by host families.

In the fairness section, we will focus on fast fashion and how, in some countries, workers are exploited for cheap labour. We will consider how the raw materials of fashion are found/produced and how we can make more sustainable buying choices. We will write persuasive letters to encourage the industry to fairly support their workers and ensure safe working conditions.

In the acceptance section, we will focus on the Windrush generation, and their contribution to rebuilding Britain post war. We will think about whether this generation has been treated fairly by the British Government. We will write a newspaper article to show the significant contribution of the Windrush generation.

During the topic, Year 6 will visit Crucial Crew, where they will take part in a variety of workshops.
