In Science, we are learning about the human circulatory system and the different factors that affect the health of our hearts, and how our bodies function.

Y6 pupils really enjoyed working with the Centre of the Cell, a science education centre based at Queen Mary, University of London, to bring their learning to life!

As part of a whole school focus on right and wrong, Year 6 are exploring the question: Is it possible to have a truly peaceful world? The children are applying prior learning about conflict and what religious scriptures teach people about how to live their lives (golden rules). They are grappling with how religious teaching might be applied when encountering scenarios of prejudice, discrimination or direct violence. 

Y6 built a timeline to help us understand how different time periods we have studied overlap and to help us compare the length of the different eras.

We used our Maths skills to build the timeline to scale, so that one metre represented 1000 years. 

This helped us understand the vast length of the Ancient Maya period that we are beginning to explore this half-term.

This half term Year Six have visited Shadwell Basin Outdoor Activity Centre where we have experienced a variety of fun and exciting outdoor activities including bell boating and climbing. Our trips to the centre are a taster for future sessions in the summer term, when we will further develop our boating, climbing and team building skills.
