Year 6 Curriculum Update

Year Six have used torches, mirrors, prisms and colour filters to investigate the best surfaces for light to reflect off of whilst understanding why some materials are more effective for light to bounce off of than others. Learning about refraction and how white light can be separated to reveal the colours of the rainbow led to many curious minds thinking about how the world around us works! We had lots of questions about rainbows and some of us got to answer why the sky is blue! We have loved learning about light and about the discoveries made by famous scientists such as Isaac Newton (who introduced the theory of colour) and look forward to continuing our scientific journey with electricity!

In Writing this term, Year Six have shown their talents in acting when exploring the speeches of Greta Thunberg! Year Six became news reporters to address the issues of climate change and inform their audiences about the actions of the young protestor who has been campaigning for the world since she was 15! Year Six were very enthusiastic about their roles when performing and directing their news reports. It was brilliant to see Year Six adapting their use of language and vocabulary for different roles!
