Coffee morning
Don’t forget to join us in The Space tomorrow morning at 9am for coffee and an informal chat.
History linked to Topic
This week in topic, we were looking at World War 2 in comparison to other British history. First, we sorted pictures of artefacts into the age group we thought they fitted into – we were surprised by some of them. Here are some photos…
Then later, while we were looking at artefacts, we saw a video of Hitler on YouTube; lots of us found it super weird and he was very loud. We also saw a real gas mask.
In The Space, we made a timeline of age groups. We also learnt loads of interesting facts about World War 2: it was mainly in Europe, it started in 1939 and ended in 1945 and finally we learnt why it started. 
Overall, Y6 have learnt lots this week.

‘able’ and ‘ible’
This week’s spelling activity focuses on words ending in ‘able’ or ‘ible’ and recognising which suffix to use. This should be completed by Thursday 29 September.
Children should find words that end in either ‘able’ or ‘ible’ and begin to identify any patterns/rules they can see.
Children should present their findings in their homework books. We will discuss this in class and children will be given a word list to learn next week.

This week’s homework is creative and is due Thursday 29 September:
I can design a chocolate bar wrapper.
As we begin our Big Topic based on a class novel (in our case, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), this chocolate-themed homework seems appropriate! There’s only one rule: don’t use more than one page of A4.
Creative geography homeworks
