Year 6 Blog 27.2.26

Date: 27th Feb 2026 @ 2:33pm

Year 6 have come back well from their short break to start learning about Enslavement, particularly the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. We have begun to talk about what led to this dark period in British History and have looked at some activists who fought against it. We have started to right a Biography on Martin Luther King Jr with the intention of the children writing their own biography on another important figure in the civil rights movement. In art we have looked at an activist artist and started to note down our ideas of what injustices we can protest around.

We have also begun our novel, Freedom, featuring an enslaved boy, Nat, who has lost his Mother and Sister to another plantation and hopes to get his, and their, freedom by travelling to England. We have discussed what impressions we have about the various characters and the emotions they would feel during these times.

In maths, we have interpreted and drawn various types of graphs, including line graphs, bar charts and pie charts, as well ast looking at how to calculate the mean average of a set of data. In Latin we have started to study Third Group Nouns which do not share the same endings as the other nouns we have studied so far. In RE we have started to look at who actually was Jesus based on the names he is given in the Bible.
