This week in Northamptonshire 6

Week beginning Monday 16th March:

It’s been another fabulous week in Year 6! In English, we continued reading our termly text: ‘When the Sky Falls’. What did you write about this week? What style of writing was it? How did you change your writing to suit the genre/style?

In History, we continued learning about Britain at War. This week, we learned about the trenches in World War 1 and learned all about: their location, reasons for trench warfare, how they were run, their dangers and what life was like for the soldiers who inhabited them. What can you remember? In the near future, the children will be using this knowledge to bolster their writing in English whilst writing a letter in role.

In RE, we recapped and built on some prior learning from Year 5 in our Judaism unit. The children revisited the story of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt and learned how this experience is commemorated by Jewish people today. The children learned about the seder plate and how each element has a specific meaning in relation to the Israelites experiences. What is on the seder plate? What does it represent?

We hope you have a great weekend!

Mrs Midgley.
