Year 6 News

This week in Year 6, we have been looking at the six different biomes that can be found in Brazil. We looked at how some of these biomes cannot be found in North America and why these areas are important in Brazil. We also looked at where the people in Brazil mainly lived and why they lived in these particular areas.

WOW! Well done Year 6! A truly team effort, to put on such a fantastic show. After months of rehearsals and hard work, it all came together this week, with a fabulous final performance, which we will all remember for a long time. All the children stepped up and worked collaboratively to showcase their acting, singing and dancing skills as well as prop-making, ticket-design and use of various technological devices.

In Science this week, Year 6 children made simple working models of the lung, to help them understand how they work. This is all part of our topic on the Circulatory System. It was quite fiddly, but they persevered and succeeded eventually.

As part of our new Geography topic, the children in Year 6 have been exploring Ordnance Survey maps and using 4-figure grid references. Later, we will expand this to 6-figure grid references to enhance the precision of their map use. Learning how to unfold and fold them again was an interesting addition to the lesson! The children were also excited to find out about the exact location of our reisdential trip to Dorset in just 4 weeks' time.

Extra breakfast has definitely been a highlight of SATs week and the children have enjoyed a less formal start to the day, before the formality of tests. They have been brilliant this week and worked extremely hard to showcase all that they know in Reading, SPAG and Maths. We are very proud of them all. After the final test was over, they enjoyed some relaxing reward time on the Trim Trail and playing their own games on the field. Thankfully, the weather stayed dry.
