Year 6 completed some fab oral storytelling about Snow White in New York – they really enjoyed looking at the differences between the traditional tale and the updated tale with a twist!

Year 6 Newsreporters!
In Guided Reading, year 6 have been reading newspaper articles about the World Cup. To support their understanding of the text, they imagined they were reporters on location in Qatar, delivering a sports item for Newsround.
Microorganisms
Year 6 have been learning about microorganisms by investigating helpful and harmful bacteria. They have conducted an experiment about how quickly mould develops, based on the independent variables they changed such as, temperature and exposure to dirt.
WW2 Themed Tea Dance
A huge well done to Year 6 for their successful enterprise project – a WW2 themed tea dance for our families! They shared info about WW2, served food and drink, and even performed a swing dance! Amazing talent!

Mapping!
Y6 have been learning to locate different places around the world using latitude and longitude. We used atlases and online maps to help.
Year 6 trip to the Blitz Museum
Year 6 visited the Blitz Museum in Coventry, and it was a treasure trove of 1940’s history! The children immersed themselves in the reconstructed 1940s school room, kitchen and bomb shelters. We also explored the Cathedral ruins and could see the devastation caused during the Blitz.
Y6 Parent Workshop
This week Y6 have been looking at WW2 propaganda posters. We also had a go at creating our own! Thank you to all the parents who were able to come into school and join us for this, we hope you enjoyed it!
