In RE, the children discussed whether scientists could have religious beliefs and explored how science and faith can coexist. We defined the term ‘worldview’ as the way someone thinks about the world and their place in it. With that in mind, the children explored the following questions about Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawking, Francis Collins and Albert Einstein: What contributions did this scientist make to science? Did this scientist have any religious beliefs? How did they relate these beliefs with their scientific work?
This week, Year 6 identified the features of a chronological report: Title, Headings, Subheadings, Facts, Contents Page, Pictures, Captions, Index, Glossary and used these to build our own chronological report by piecing together all the features linking to our core text Planetarium.

Literacy - Year 6 started their new core book 'The Night of the Gargoyles'. The children observed the front cover and used inference skills to create curious questions linked to the text.
