Blog for Friday 13^th December 2024

A number of budding politicians have emerged within Year 6, as the children have been tasked with writing their version of Winston Churchill’s war-time speech. They have employed a number of persuasive techniques: repetition, modal verbs, metaphors, addressing the audience directly and rhetorical questions in order to boost morale and encourage the British public to work together for the war effort.

Being the run up to Christmas, the class has also been challenged to think deeply and reflect upon the true meaning of the Nativity story, recognising differences between the four Gospel accounts and the intended purpose of each Gospel writer in terms of who they present Jesus to be.

Next week, the class will be carrying out investigative and evaluative activities that centre around building bridges. The will make annotated drawings of frame structures before researching key individuals who influenced the design of famous bridges from around the globe. They will then undertake a range of focused tasks, giving them experience of using measuring, marking out, cutting, joining, shaping and finishing techniques with construction materials.
