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 6 - Writing

In literacy lessons, we have been learning about part of S. F. Said's book, 'Phoenix'. We read an edited version of the first chapter, and over the next few weeks, created our own action stories based on that.

Term 6 - Music Week

For Music Week, we listened to 'The Carnival of the Animals'. Year 6 focused on 'The Aviary'. After discussing the piece of music, we looked at images of birds and then collaborated as a table to create our own bold, beautiful birds. Don't they look great?

Term 6 - Writing Day

We loved celebrating National Writing Day this year! It was really interesting to think about how authors and illustrators work together to tell a story, and we have made a fantastic class book full of stories about our proudest moments. We also liked taking part in the challenges which came over the walkie-talkie during the day! A particular favourite was 'write your name in fancy'.

Year 6 2021-22
