Year 6 Blog - Friday 12th June 2026

Date: 11th Jun 2026 @ 9:39am

Welcome to the Year 6 weekly blog. 

This week in Year 6

English 

In English, we have been inspired by different videos this week to create narratives with suspense. We created a blend of action, dialogue and description based on the videos 'Francis' and 'Alma' and utilised our skills as writers to build tension into our narratives.

RE

In RE, we have learned all about Mother Teresa. We have learned how she did small things with great love. We all thought carefully about what she could take with her when she became a nun and what she had to leave behind. 

Topic 

In Science, we have continued our topic on evolution. We researched different animals and learned about their special adaptations that help them to survive in their habitats. 

In History, we completed our topic all about Crime and Punishment. We learned how the police have developed in the 20th century. 

In Forest School, we all worked together so well to make our obstacle courses.There was negotiation, teamwork, imagination and cooperation at every stage of the process.

We have all really enjoyed our first aid training that took place today! We all learned how to complete a primary survey, complete comopression only CPR, and deal with medical emergencies. 

Please complete the following tasks by Wednesday 18/06/25. 

Reading - Use your home reading to read every night for 30 minutes. You also have a reading diary that must be used for the title of the book and any challenges chosen. 

Books may be changed on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. 

All children need to be practicing their lines and songs for the Y6 production, as next week will be the last week of using scripts in rehearsal! 

Well done to all our award winners in Golden Assembly this week!
