  What another fantastic week it has been in Year 6! The children have continued to demonstrate excellent attitudes to learning and have worked incredibly hard.
  
  
  
  In Maths, we have been learning about common factors and common multiples. The children have applied this knowledge to solve a range of reasoning and problem-solving challenges.
  
  
  
  In Writing, we have been creating character descriptions and setting descriptions linked to our class text Rooftoppers. The children have focused on using subordinating conjunctions to add extra detail and create more complex and engaging sentences.
  
  
  
  In History, we have been learning about the causes of World War One. We have explored the key events and tensions that led to the outbreak of war.
  
  
  
  In Science, we carried out an investigation to discover which materials are the most reflective. The children made predictions, tested a range of materials and analysed their results to draw conclusions about how light is reflected.
  
  
  
  Well done to all of Year 6 for a brilliant week of learning. We look forward to continuing our exciting topics and seeing the progress the children make over the coming weeks!
