Week beginning 21st September 2026

 

What a brilliant week it’s been in Year 6! 

The days have flown by, packed with deep thinking, curiosity, and fantastic learning. In fact, our young historians and scientists have built up so much expertise this week that you might just find yourself being put to the test at home..

Why do different species of pine trees produce differently shaped cones?

Which type of plant lacks a root system?

What punishment did someone receive for committing sacrilege by stealing from a temple in Ancient Rome?

How did Roman citizens respond when they became victims of theft?

Answers - ask a Year 6 pupil 😁
