Spring 2026
This term in Year 6 science, our topic has been Evolution and Inheritance. Pupils have been exploring how living things have changed over time and how characteristics are passed from parents to offspring. They investigated how fossils provide evidence for evolution, what fossils can tell us about organisms that lived millions of years ago, and how adaptation supports survival. To showcase their learning, pupils created detailed double-page spreads all about fossils, clearly presenting their scientific knowledge, key vocabulary and understanding of how fossils help scientists learn about the past.

In Year 6, we have been studying persuasive writing. We explored famous speeches and the techniques that make them powerful. Using these skills, we wrote our own persuasive speeches explaining why we would make a great Head Boy or Head Girl. Finally, we presented them to KS2 in our very own school election.

In Year 6 English, we have been learning about a variety of persuasive techniques, including rhetorical questions, the rule of three, undermining and repetition. We analysed a range of persuasive speeches and, for the head boy and girl elections, wrote our own persuasive speeches explaining why we were suitable candidates.

Understanding how a narrative style has been created in poetry has helped us to use narrative techniques within our own writing. We have been able to write narrative poems based on the theme 'Is Anybody There?'. Please click on the link below to view the samples of work.
