Wellbeing week
What a fantastic start to Well-being Week we've had! Today, the children were creative with pattern and shapes to develop their own pieces of Artwork. We then went outside to create a variety of nature art. To finish the day, we learned about food from different cultures and enjoyed tasting them! Take a look at our photos- we will continue to share photos of their learning this week!

What a fun afternoon we have had! Today we had a visit from the Ambulance service who told us all about their jobs. We got to wear their uniform and even test out the sirens on the ambulance! We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot! Over the next few weeks, we will have visits from people who work in different careers so please check the blog for more photos!

To celebrate our last Boosters and to recognise the children's fantastic efforts this term, we all went outside and took part in an arithmetic hunt. We worked in pairs to try to solve the SATs questions as quickly as we could. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The Year 6 teachers are very proud of everyone's efforts and we wish them all lots of luck next week for their SATs.

Map Skills
In Geography, we are investigating "Is Fair Trade fair?" and exploring the power of international trade. This week, we have been practising our map skills by identifying key physical features that makes Southampton an ideal location for cargo ships to port, in particular the notorious Marco Polo, and the variety of commodities that the famous ship imports to the U.K.

SATs Preparation
Welcome back to a new half-term! SATs preparation is fully underway and we have begun our weekly practises. Remember to regularly check your child's planner to find their recent scores.
This week, in Geography we have been learning about the famous Silk Road. We have explored why the road was important and how merchants used to travel along the road by camel to trade precious commodities.
In our Science, this half term we will be studying light. We started the topic by investigating 'How does light travel?'. We found out that light travels faster than the speed of sound and travels in straight lines. We learned new vocabulary such as opaque, transparent and translucent, which we then used when writing an explanation about our findings.

Learning About Microbes
For our Science this half term, we have been learning about Living things. This week, we have been finding out about different microbes (viruses, bacteria and fungi) and how they can be helpful or harmful to our planet. We have began an investigation where we have put bread in different conditions (heat, dark, light, dry, damp and cool) to see which condition makes mould grow the quickest. Each day, we have been observing the changes to the bread. Take a look at our photos.

Science Classification Keys
What a busy start we have had to our Spring term! The children are all working extremely hard and putting in lots of effort completing our morning challenges and booster sessions. In History, we have been learning about the story of the Trojan Horse and we have been writing diary entries as if we were a Trojan Warrior. In Science, we have been exploring classification. We have made our own classification keys using sweets and animals. Well done Year 6 - Keep up the brilliant work!
