This week in Northamptonshire 6

Week beginning Monday 2nd March:

What a wonderful, sunny week we have had 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 moved on from the reasons why World War 1 started and learned about why so many men volunteered to join the British Army before conscription was rolled out. We took a look at some posters that were prevalent during this time and watched an interview with a few veterans explaining what they thought about the volunteering process and why they signed up themselves. What reason did you feel was the most common reason why men joined the army? Do you think any of the tactics used to encourage men to enlist would be frowned upon today?

In Science, we continued to expand on our understanding of electrical circuits and how everyday devices can be programmed to produce an output in response to environmental variables, such as light, sound, motion or temperature. We put this to the test by programming our micro:bits to become light sensors. What did you have to do to achieve this?

In RE, we took a visit to Christ Church to learn more about the Easter Story and how Christians celebrate Easter. In this session, Jamie and Les explained to the children

We hope you have a great weekend!

Mrs Midgley.
