Beluga Class Weekly News

Friday 9th October 2026

Beluga have been loving their science topic on living things this half term. We have been learning about the different ways to classify living things and this week have investigated how fungi reproduce using spores! Well done Beluga, a busy but great week! 

Friday 2nd October 2026

We have become dragonologists in Beluga this week and have spent time creating our own dragons! We have spent a lot of time identifying features of a non chronological report and how we can use expanded noun phrases to describe our dragons! Well done Beluga- I can’t wait to read your final pieces!

We are really enjoying our learning on the Normans and have loved exploring heraldry in Art! We all created a coat of arms that was personal to us and chose animals that best represent our characteristics! Keep up all your hard work Beluga!

Friday 18th September 2026

It has been another jampacked week for Beluga and we are really settling into our Year 6 routine! This week we have had some fabulous writing from all of the child as we focused on descriptions. I am so impressed with everyone’s hard work this week- keep it up Beluga! 

Friday 11th September 2026

Well it has certainly been a busy week for us in Year 6! Alongside our assessments, we have started our learning on the Normans and their castles, by trying to piece together the story of the Bayeux Tapestry. We learnt what it means to speculate and how this is an important historical skill when analysing sources! 

Friday 4th September 2026

It has been a fantastic start to Year 6 for us all in Beluga Class- and a special thank you goes to all the children for making me feel so welcome to the school! We have spent the first few days reflecting on what we achieved last year, what we hope we will achieve this year and how we can get ourselves ready for the transition to secondary school. The children have been respectful, kind and helpful and I am sure this is going to be a great final year at Leigh North Street!
