Year 6 Blog 6.11.26

Date: 6th Nov 2026 @ 2:10pm

The children of Year 6 have returned to school well rested and ready for an exciting half-term ahead. We have begun our study of the Ancient Greek societ, starting by looking at the Geography of the landscape and how it affected their lives. We started our new class novel, Who Let the Gods Out?, where we have looked at the life of Elliot Hooper, whose mum is seriously ill, as well as the constellation Virgo who is bored of her perfetc lifestyle. We have used this for inspiration to ctreate some Formal pieces of writing, such as a Job advertisement for the Zodiac Council and a brief dialogue between Elliot and his mortal enemy, Mr Boil. We have also started to look at how the Ancient Greek language has influenced our own today.

In maths, we have moved on to look at how we can multiply fractions, boith by fractions and integers, as well as how we can divide them, even when the numerator is not a multiple of the divisor. In music we have studied how lyrics of a song can pass on a message and in PE we have started to develop our Hockey and gymnastics skills. We have also begun our Christmas Unit in RE, where we have looked at how Advent is a time of preparation for Jesus' return and how Christians would prepare for it.

Finally, the children have started to put together their act of remembrance, which will take place next Wednesday. Many of the children have been invited to share their poetry at Formby High School's Remembrance Event tonight ; we know that they will represent the school well.
