We love reading!
Stars of the Week: Polly & Sam
We really enjoy reading in Year 6. Between us we have read a fantastic range of books. This morning we discussed many of the books we have read and recommended them to each other. We discussed why we enjoy certain authors and genres and thought about why we like to challenge ourselves as readers and what we can learn from books. Look in the comments section for our Year 6 top recommended books.

World War 1 Weapons and Communications Technology
Stars of the Week: Marissa & Aldous
This week we have been looking at the weapons and communications technology that were developed during World War One and thinking about the impact these had. The main result was that they changed the way that the war was fought and made it much more difficult for the soldiers fighting it. Have a look at our presentations below for more information.
