    We have had a very busy half-term! 

    In Geography, we’ve looked at sustainability and how we can help our world by living as sustainably as possible.  This could include having solar panels on our houses, turning off taps and lights when not using them, and recycling paper,  cardboard and plastic. In addition, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip to London Zoo when we managed to spot lots of the rainforest creatures we’d been learning about during our Geography lessons!

    We have also started to create our own wonderful rainforest-inspired cushions in DT!  We’ve created designs and thought about the design specification and who we intend our finished cushions to be used by.  In addition, we have made templates for our designs to ensure that we get the size and shapes correct before moving on to cutting the pieces out of fabric.  We very much look forward to starting to sew our cushions together!

    In computing, we have been creating text-based adventures where we needed to give choices to the user so they could decide what would happen in the game!  In RE we have found out more about Jesus and looked in detail at the Easter story and its importance to Christians.

    We have enjoyed our Science topic of ‘Evolution’, where we have found out how animals have evolved over time through the process of ‘Natural Selection’. We looked at fossils as they show us what living things were like millions of years ago, how living things have changed over time and how living things are linked. We also discussed selective breeding of cows and dogs and investigated human variation in our class and found out how different we are!

    Next term we are looking forward to starting our History topic about the Mayans, looking in detail at who they were, where they lived and how they communicated. We also look forward to welcoming Mexicolore back to fully immerse us in Mayan life. In Science, we will look at the human body and all the amazing things it does to keep us alive and in PSHE we are starting a new topic of relationships. In RE we will be looking at humans’ relationship with the environment and will discuss individual ideas about God, and, of course, we can’t wait to get started on sewing our cushions for DT!

    Have a wonderful Easter break and we’ll see you next term!

    Year 6 PE Days are Monday and Thursday

    Please come to school in PE kit on these days.
