Year 6 – Rowan Class
What We’ve Been Up To This Term
What was life like during the Blitz?
By reading and analysing historical sources alongside our class texts, we shall contemplate what it was like to live through the Blitz in Britain.
Books your child could read at home:
- Carrie’s War by Nina Bawden
- Letters from the Lighthouse by Emma Carrol
- Goodnight Mr Tom by Michelle Magorian
- My Secret War Diary by Marcia Williams
What are we doing at the moment?
In Rowan Class, we have started the Autumn term by celebrating the natural world. In Science, we are learning about living things and their habitats: from micro-organisms to the blue whale. As part of an Art project, we drew spiders and flies in pen using a continuous line technique. We are exploring a world of extraordinary creatures by reading ‘Arthur Spiderwick’s Guide to the Fantastical World Around You’ during our English lessons. We are working hard as we meet new challenges and solve word problems in our Number topic in Maths.
