In English, we have been working on discussion texts, and investigating some age old debates such as...'Jack, hero or criminal?' and ' The Three Little Pigs....guilty or not guilty?' We have had plenty of interesting characters to meet along the way, and the children have used excellent techniques and writing skills to produce pieces that truly belong on 'Question Time'. Our work culminated in using oracy skills to showcase the work produced - we can tell you now, there is a new generation of politicians, news readers and activists coming soon!

Science has been great fun, as the children have followed in the footsteps of Alessandro Volta and begun work on electrical circuits. They have had great fun drawing circuits, building them online...and, in some cases, building circuits in real life! We have been so pleased to see clear knowledge being built; using both series and parallel circuits.

Maths has been a triumph - all three classes have shown real determination to master order of operations, and master it they have! This skill will be so useful as they continue through their education, and every, single child has shown excellent understanding - accompanied by beautifully set out work.
We have also been imagining we are holidaying in Paris, and ordering delicious food from French restaurants and cafes...while also learning to explain what foods we do and don't like. The amazing role play videos received show fantastic accents - while the menus have made us determined to visit France as soon as possible for moules-frites!
Antonia's menu - formidable! Et aussi, le menu Chez Charles!
Year 6, you are just brilliant. Keep up this wonderful work - you have so much to be very proud of!
