Below is our most recent blog. This includes a summary of the last two weeks including any important information for the coming weeks (reminders etc).
As ever, it has been a busy couple of weeks in the Year 6 classroom, with the children fully embracing the recent school values of ‘Integrity’ and ‘Motivation’. This has been evident through activities such as considering the big question ‘How do an animal’s living systems work together to maintain a healthy body?’ in science; evaluating the impact of each Ancient Greek civilisation in history; justifying why the ascension is important to Christians in RE, and classifying triangles to find unknown angles in maths.
Participating in last week’s mini-marathon, singing away during our Mary Poppins practice and adding the finishing touches to their automata toys has offered a welcome balance.
In English, the children have set sail for the greatest journey of all time: Homer’s Odyssey, reading “The Adventures of Odysseus” and developing storytelling traditions through the creations of storyboards and comic strips, which told of Odysseus’ gruesome encounter with The Cyclops.
