Welcome to Year 6!

We've had a wonderful first term in Year 6! We've started learning about our topic, the Shang Dynasty, and have come up with lots of questions we hope to research. In science, we're learning about materials, and we have been testing objects for their properties in class. As part of this, we recently explored the Science Garden. Some of us managed to use the pulley system to transport water in waterproof containers from one side of the garden to the other!






Year 6 are keen performers, and we recently performed Michael Rosen's 'Chocolate Cake' in assembly; at the end of this week we'll be going to the Hippodrome to see him perform some of his poems - we can't wait!




This year will be full of hard work and fun, and we can't wait

Term 5 - Literacy

 In Literacy, we read and wrote discussion texts about whether or not artefacts such as the Benin Bronzes should be returned to their countries of origin. To explore the issue, Year 6 took part in role-play activities and conscience alleys to share their opinions and understand how different people might feel about this topical issue. Year 6 showed great maturity in discussing this topic and were able to express their viewpoints with evidence and arguments to back themselves up.
