Topic
Our main topic for the next half term will be based on The Tudors. We will be looking at the two monarchs in detail (Henry VIII and Elizabeth I) and analysing what their impact was using a range of primary and secondary sources.
We will be studying the Shakespeare play The Tempest
Reading
All children will have a school reading book. We ask that children read both independently and with an adult at home, ideally daily. This will continue to help develop your child's fluency and comprehension. As well as encourage a love of Reading!

Year 6 Learning
In computing this term we have been looking at coding. Using purple mash we have coded our own games for some one else to play!
Electricity
In Science we have been looking at electricity. As part of this, we have created circuits and looked at what happens to these circuits when different parts are added to it.
As part of our World War 1 topic, Year 6 visited the Worcester Art Gallery and Museum. We had a workshop where we thought about what it would be like to be in the trenches; we imagined we were soldiers! We had to sort ourselves based on a criteria to see if we would have been able to sign up. We were even able to 'smell' what life in the trenches would have been like (it smelt horrible!). In groups we had some time to explore the museum and created some WW1 inspired art work! We had a fantastic day!
Year 6 Trip to Pershore College!
Year 6 have been lucky enough to visit Pershore College - a prize won by our school Gardening club! We saw a variety of reptiles including a bearded dragon! We also saw birds, rabbits, donkeys, snakes, spiders and stick insects! We were also lucky enough to go in to a glass house and look at a variety of plants including banana trees!
It was a fantastic morning!
