6J have began their textiles work with an introduction to stitching. Mrs Beech showed the children how to complete a back stitch and a running stitch, some children even managed to complete a cross stitch! This will help to form part of our Year 6 Tudor rose display which will be hand stitched by the children. 

This week in year 6 our literacy focus will be on the Elgin marbles debate between the U.K and Greek government. Both year 6 classes rotated around a selection of research stations including non fiction books, laptops, radio podcasts and web links. The children were encouraged to make detailed notes which they will then use to produce a balanced argument and a structured classroom debate.
