Evolution of Man

We are going to focus even more on evolution in science, starting with the evolution of humans - thinking in particular about how our skeletons have changed.

How have we evolved?

When and How?

In year 6 we are about to start a new topic looking at the human body! We are going to investigate the different systems within our bodies and look at certain organs and find out why they are so important.

See how many different organs of the body you can think of and what they do!

I'm Going on a Family Hunt

Today was WORLD BOOK DAY! In year 6 we decided to focus on the very famous story 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' by Michael Rosen.

We thought about it from the Bear's point of view. We asked questions:
Why was he in the cave alone?
Why did he decide to follow the family?
What did he do at the end?

We decided that the Bear only wanted a family of his own and everyone misunderstood him! The stories the children wrote were excellent and very emotional! We then went to Year 1 and shared the stories we wrote and some of their favourites too!

Parliament!

We were lucky enough this week to have a visit from someone who works in London with parliament! She taught us a great deal all about what happens, House of Lords, House of Commons and how to become an MP! We then had workshops where we worked just like the House of Commons and debated as to whether the bill of 'Should homework be banned before Year 9?' should go through and become a law. I don't think I have to state which side of debate the majority of the year 5 and 6 chose! 

I have found some very useful websites for you to try over half term to help with your revision - especially as some of you have already completed the revision books!
