They are already showing what wonderful role models they can be around school. Through our GAT (Getting Along Together) lessons, the children have been developing their skills in working with partners and teams, while also thinking carefully about the behaviours for learning that help us to be successful. This week, Year 6 also enjoyed their first Art lesson. They explored a range of different fruits and vegetables, looking closely at shape, texture and detail before creating observational drawings using a variety of mixed media. The children showed great creativity and concentration, and we are looking forward to seeing their artistic skills develop in the coming weeks. ### Year 6 In Action Sept 26 [![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-in-action-sept-26/Year_6_Action_S26.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/images/gallery/year-6-in-action-sept-26/Year_6_Action_S26.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-in-action-sept-26/Year_6_Action_S26a.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/images/gallery/year-6-in-action-sept-26/Year_6_Action_S26a.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-in-action-sept-26/Year_6_Action_S26b.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/images/gallery/year-6-in-action-sept-26/Year_6_Action_S26b.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/year-6-in-action-sept-26/Year_6_Action_S26c.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/images/gallery/year-6-in-action-sept-26/Year_6_Action_S26c.jpg) [Y6](https://hawes-side.co.uk/news/tag/y6) [ART](https://hawes-side.co.uk/news/tag/art) [![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/16-165273_best-first-day-of-kindergarten-clip-art-1st-day-of-clip-art.png)](https://hawes-side.co.uk/news/2026-09-07-welcome-to-our-new-foundation-stage-children-and-families) Previous ### [Welcome to our new Foundation Stage children and families!](https://hawes-side.co.uk/news/2026-09-07-welcome-to-our-new-foundation-stage-children-and-families) [![](https://files.schudio.com/hawes-side-academy/imagecache/100x100c/news/5_number.png)](https://hawes-side.co.uk/news/2026-09-15-year-5-news) Next ### [Year 5 News](https://hawes-side.co.uk/news/2026-09-15-year-5-news) ### Our Parents - [Latest News](https://hawes-side.co.uk/news) - [Newsletter](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/latest-communications) - [Term Dates](https://hawes-side.co.uk/termdates) - [Our Uniform](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/our-uniform) - [Our Meal Service](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/our-meal-service) - [Parent Pay](https://www.parentpay.com/) - [PTFA](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/ptfa) - [Parent View](https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/) - [Calendar](https://hawes-side.co.uk/calendar) - [School Admission Information](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/school-admission-information) - [Family Support](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/family-support) - [Our School Day](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/our-school-day) - [Out of School Clubs](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/Out-of-School-clubs) - [Attendance & Punctuality](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/attendance-punctuality) - [Family Learning](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/family-learning) - [Starting School - Foundation Children - September ](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/starting-school-foundation) - [Leading Parent Partnership](https://hawes-side.co.uk/our-parents/leading-parent-partnership-award) ##### Location Johnsville Avenue Blackpool FY4 3LN ##### Contact Us 01253 402541 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Hawes-Side-Academy-106552978546097) - [X](https://twitter.com/HSlearners) © Copyright 2018–2026 Hawes Side Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://hawes-side.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
