It’s been a week of investigations in Year 6. Following some revision on both multiplication and division (to 2 decimal places), children set about using their own examples to prove whether a statement was always, sometimes or never true.
In English, we have started our new class book, Boy in the Tower by Polly Ho-Yen It is dystopian novel about Ade, a boy trapped in his London tower block by fast-growing, invasive plants called “Bluchers”. We wrote a newspaper article about the events so far and we are keen to continue next week.
In our history lessons, we got to know Winston Churchill a bit better, considering the type of leader that he was and some of the key decisions he made during World War 2. We heard an extract of his inspirational speech ‘We shall fight on the beaches’ and then thought about questions we might like to ask him and how he could have responded.
Next week, we will celebrate World Book Day on Thursday 5th March and keep an eye open for the arrival of the Book Fair.
