Year 6 Blog 25.9.26

Date: 25th Sep 2026 @ 3:20pm

This week, the children have reflected upon their writing, editing their biographies and helping their peers to critically evaluate theirs. We have continued to delve into the story of Nathaniel, learning of his escape and putting ourselves in his place to write letters back home and to his friend in London. In PE we have continued to develop our tag rugby skills in preparation for a tournament next week, and in dodgeball we looked at how to increase our chances of catching a ball during matches.

In maths, we have looked at prime and square numbers, before reviewing and recapping long multiplication. In science, we looked at how genes are inherited by offspring, helping us to design some children for the Mr Men and Little Miss characters. In music, we have looked at how many pop songs are formulated and composed some baselines to accompany a drumbeat. In History, we have studied the life of enslaved Africans once they had reached the plantations, focussing in on the defiance and resistence shown by them.

Thank you to all parents who attended the meeting on Wednesday evening; you can find any information on the Year 6 class page if you have misplaced the sheet handed out on the night.
