Looking back:
Our Year 6 have been super busy this week, studying another great range of topics and completing some very detailed work. We have enjoyed writing our “Discovery Narratives” this week, based on the journey of Charles Darwin. The class have described his arrival in a new and fascinating country, and their descriptions of uncatalogued animals. Maths has seen some amazing discussions as when the class are really challenged, they just get together and work it through. Climates and biomes have been a focus for the geography work alongside the cultures of Central America. Studying different religions has produced some lovely work and – of course – our practising for our Christmas Service has continued well.
We’d also like to say how lovely it was to be able to hold “in person” parents’ meetings once more and it was great to be able to meet with you and to celebrate how well your children have settled into Year 6.

We’ll be moving on with our writing about Darwin to a slightly different focus and publishing our narratives soon. Our other subjects will continue apace with the class learning more about climates, elements of different religions, fractions and singing practice.
