The Year Six children have had an extremely busy start to the term!

Below are some pictures illustrating what we’ve been up to.  

During English, we have been recapping numerous language features from prepositional phrases and subordinate clauses to cohesive devices within and between paragraphs. All these important language features will be helping the Year Six children plan and write a newspaper report about a crime that has taken place … the missing Maya masks. We have been using our detective skills to work out the culprit, but the mystery is still unsolved!

We have also been conquering fractions. The children have shown resilience and ambition during some challenging mathematical concepts, which has been wonderful to see.

On top of this, we have been learning about the circulatory system in science. The children have been using their knowledge of healthy eating to create posters. We will soon be using this information to design and carry out an investigating about exercise and our heart rates.

The children should be extremely proud of their achievements this term!

Year Six have been super busy the last few weeks with their learning and have been especially enthusiastic about our current history topic of WW2! 

Below are some pictures of what we've been up to: 

In art, the children have been studying and evaluating the work of landscape artists such as Monica Gewuz and then creating their own inspired pieces using mixed media. Josh and Sam L have done a fantastic job of creating two beautiful landscapes.

Our current WW2 history topic has had all children in Year Six captivated.  In one of our most recent lessons,  children have been learning about the Allies and Axies. The children used their geographical map skills to locate the countries on a map and identify their flags. 

We have also been learning about the important key dates linked to WW2, from when it started and ended and all the important events in between. The children were able to create an interactive human timeline outside to then be able to recall what they had learned a few days later in their own creative way. Olivia has created a fabulous double-page spread of what she could remember - Well done!

In English,  we have been writing  Science Fiction stories and have been really impressed by how creative and engaging they have been! 

We can't wait to show you more of our fabulous work soon!
