6WB
Week commencing 4th November 2024!
This week in 6WB, we have become poets! Inspired by the story 'The Day the Crayons Quit' we thought about inanimate objects and turned them into objects with feelings. Have you ever wondered how a yellow board pen feels? An un-sharpened pencil? Or what about a gravestone? Read some of our work to find more.
Week commencing 14th October 2024!
This week we have been thinking about Peace in R.E and how it is important to everyone, not matter what their religion.
We celebrated the subject through poetry and thought about what peace meant to each of us. Here is a display which we have created to share our wonderful poetry with the rest of the school community.
Week commencing 7th October 2024!
This week in 6WB, we have thought about how to keep our hearts healthy, as part of our science work. We discussed the different ways in which we can keep our hearts healthy, such as through a balanced diet and the inclusion of exercise in our daily lives. To demonstrate our learning, we produced double page spreads which shared our most important information. Have a look at the photos below to see if you agree with our thinking.
Week commencing 30th September 2024!
This week on English, we have focussed on the life of the famous diarist, Anne Frank. We have learnt about what happened to her and her family during World War Two and then used what we have learnt, combined with our English skills, to write a biography of her life.
Have a read of some excerpts from our writing below:
Week commencing 23rd September 2024!
This week, year 6 have travelled back to the Tudor times, to learn all about another Tufor monarch. Through sources, we explored the life and reign of Mary Tudor and asked ourselves the question - was she bloody or simply misunderstood? Why not ask us more about her life, crimes and achievements?
Week commencing 16th September 2024!
Another fantastic week of learning! The Year 6 classes have been busy making blood using marshmallows, sprinkles, strawberry laces and oil. They then wrote a non-chronological report about plasma, platelets, red blood cells and white blood cells. In history, the children have been learning about Henry VIII and his wives. Was he a horrible King? We used discussion and primary source material to be able to analyse the impact of his six wives.
We had a very successful meet and greet - thank you to everyone who came.
Week commencing 9th September 2024!
Year 6 have been super busy this week. They have worked really hard to create two beautiful pieces of writing about a woman who has to leave her husband and fight in the army. In history, they have thoroughly enjoyed writing about Henry VIII and his wives. I have been thoroughly impressed by their subject knowledge! Additionally in science this week, the children have done a fantastic job of creating a heart diagram along with a detailed explanation of its function in the circulatory system. Great work 6CE!
Week commencing 2nd September 2024!
This week has been a fantastic start to year 6!
We have learnt all about the circulatory system in science, started (and completed!) our first piece of English writing and had a fabulous time learning all about the Battle of Bosworth in history. (see our reenactment photo) Do you know the tale of the War of the Roses? Do you know how long your circulatory system is? Speak to someone in our class to find out more!
