Natural History Museum - Life Cycles

The second of our amazing topic trips was to the Natural History Museum in London! We had to leave school before 7am, which was a real struggle. The journey to London passed quickly, helped by being able to watch several films on the bus.

At the Natural History Museum we followed several trails around the museum, learning lots more about our Life Cycles topic in science. We couldn't believe how much there was to see, and lots of children wanted to stay for the whole weekend.

The grand finale of the trip was a chance to handle and explore objects from the museum's collection. We used microscopes, magnifying glasses, scales and more to work scientifically to make observations about the different objects.

What an incredible trip - I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking!

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.
