Year 6 News

Week ending 24.9.21

In Year 6 this week, we have completed our Star Writing, retelling the wonderful picture book 'The Great Kapok Tree', which is linked to our Geography topic of Brazil. The children have done amazingly well, and we are very proud of their efforts.  In Maths, we have been revising short division from last year and introducing long division. During these lessons, the children have really practised being 'Learners for Life', one of the pillars underpinning our curriculum. They have been linking their Maths learning, chunked it into manageable parts, learnt from their mistakes and challenged themselves. In Science, we have introduced the theory of Evolution and the children enjoyed playing an online game, where they could change the environmental features and watch the effect on animals.

Question? In Science, which environmental change caused the greatest effect on the animals?
