Welcome back Year 6!

This week we have job straight into our new inquiry topic 'Is it a Wonder?' 

Our central idea is 

“Wonders are special places that show the beauty, history, and stories of a place and the people who live there.”

We have started the inquiry by looking at what is meant by the word 'wonder' and what makes something 'wondrous'. We have used our imagination to create images of wondrous locations and have spent time researching some of the modern wonders of the world to see if they fit with our central idea. 

In Maths we have started looking at time and how we measure it. We have be converting units of time and investigating different time zones by understanding how the world is split into different zones and which parts of the world are ahead/behind us. We have looked at webcams which are at different wonders of the world, to see what the time is compared to ours.

In Language we have been looking at Newspapers and questioning what is meant by 'fake news'. We have had some great discussions about how news can be reported responsibly and what is meant by clickbait. We have also looked at the difference between fact and opinion and have studied the different features of a newspaper article, ready for us to start writing our own.

As well as that, half of Year 6 had a great time at the arena in town representing the school in the Codi Llais concert. The children were incredible and behaved  and performed brilliantly.
