Term 1
What have we been learning? 

This term, Year 6’s topic has been Rainforest. Our key question was, ‘Is it worth saving the rainforest?’, as a part of this question we have researched rainforests and produced a selection of narrative texts set in the rainforest taking our inspiration from The Jungle Book and The Explorer by Katherine Rundell.  

Our first term of maths has seen the children exploring the numbers to ten million, refining their addition and subtraction skill as well as honing their arithmetic skills. 

In foundation subjects, the children have reviewed their understanding of continents and where we can find rainforests around the world 

Wow moments: 

This term we have been focusing on settling in to year six life, this has involved getting used to outside maths and dance and team building in PE. We also worked hard to ensure our harvest art was up to scratch in creating  

Also, this term some of our children had the chance to go to Bordeaux as part of the Bristol Community of Purpose initiative where the children worked with other primary school from varying communities.  

We were extremely proud of everything this year group are achieving so far this year!
