Mrs Murton Year 6 2020 - 2021

In Literacy, as part of the work from our text ‘Blood Heart Boy’, the children had to hold a press conference. They were either reporters asking probing questions or Cameron and his family and Dr Bryce. The children were surprised how nervous they were and how hard it was to answer questions under…

Hi guys,

Since we've already had one battle on the grounds of Roseberry Academy this week (Romans Vs Celts), I figured that it was high time we had another round of TTRS battles. However, as Christmas is fast approaching, along with 2021, I decided to add a twist to this competition: all…

This week the children have been creating stop frame animations based on the topic. They are amazing!

This week we carried out a fair test into blood flow. We ensured everything was kept the same apart from the width of the straws that were representing the blood vessels. We found that blood flowed quicker through the wider vessel. We also discussed what would happen if the blood was thicker or…

We really love being outside in our wildlife area! Whether we are relaxing in the hammocks; problem solving with the piping; learning how to light fires; or whittling wands - we love it all!!

This week we have been finding out which substances are harmful to our bodies. We produced amazing fact pages and then finished by creating adverts to warn people away from substances which could cause us harm. Great work everyone!

He told us all about his job as a cardiologist and how he helps to make people’s hearts better. It was fascinating! Thank you!

This week, the children have been writing both emails and poetry, in role, for work based on the book 'Pig Heart Boy' by Malorie Blackman. For the emails, they had to think about how the characters were feeling and what they would put in an email to each other. I was impressed by the maturity that…

As part of our topic this week, the children created their own 'red abstract art'. I was really impressed with the final pieces!
