Another busy week completed in Year 6. We have learnt about the area of triangles and parallelograms in maths. We have finished our Robinwood writing topic in English with an explanation text. In science, the children have looked at the structure and function of the heart. Next week, they will be completing an enquiry to see what affects heart rate. In history, the children have looked at some reasons why the Allies achieved victory in Europe in 1945.
Also, we had a visit from Counsellor Hogley and the school government planted a tree that was gifted to us to celebrate the Queen's platinum jubilee. The planting activity seems even more poignant now that the Queen has passed. Here is a picture of some of the Year 6 school government members as well as the competition winners who designed a poster to commemorate the jubilee.

As today was Remembrance Day, the whole school took part in a two-minute silence in the playground at 11am. I was really impressed with how Year 6 conducted themselves.
Also this week, we have continued looking at World War Two in history. Learning about it on Remembrance Day added to its importance, I think. We have also looked at the circulatory system in science. The children became blood cells and the classroom became the blood vessels. The children travelled between the heart, the lungs (where they 'picked up' some oxygen) and the rest of the body (where they 'dropped off' the oxygen!). I tried to get some photographs that showed what they were doing, but it just looks like they were walking around the classroom, as you can see below!
Have a lovely weekend!

Welcome back!
We've got straight back into things this week in Year 6. The children have started writing a recount of their favourite activities from Robinwood. In maths, the children have learnt lots of different angle rules. Ask them what the internal angles in a triangle or quadrilateral add up to and they should be able to to tell you.
In history, we have continued our war topic. This week, the children have looked at the Second World War, in particular the evacuation of Dunkirk and how it was an important point in history. In science, we have started are new topic on the circulatory system. I wanted to test their prior knowledge of the organs of the human body, so the children had to make organs out of Play-Doh and decide where they go in the body. Here are some photos of the children trying this out and their results!
Have a lovely weekend!
