Autumn Term

We have been multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000.

 

 

We went to explore one of London's 'Magnificent Seven' cemeteries and discovered why it was built and about Victorian attitudes to death.

 

 

While studying Charles Darwin we discovered some new species of our own.

 

 

 

In order to support Macmillan, Year 6 have been making Victoria sandwiches using Mrs Beeton's recipe.

 

 

The Victorian workshop covered a broad spectrum of 19th century life from social change, the start of the railways and the beginnings of our modern world.
