In Year 6 we have been learning about black history - in particular the lives of NASA figures and how they changed the world for many people. The people who we have been focusing on are Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughn and Mary Jackson. They were American mathematicians who faced many barriers but didn’t give up . In DT lessons, we have been preparing to make our  own waistcoats but in the style of WW2 and our unit is called Make do and Mend. We have been writing stories in literacy and have been starting to write our independent write to share to our parents at Fright Night! We have also been doing a new unit in maths which is about common multiples and have just finished our division unit. On a Friday afternoon, we do Science and we have been learning about evolution. Charles Darwin explained that over hundreds of years birds have developed to be able to eat different types of seeds to survive longer. This is called natural selection. We did a little investigation in class to understand this more.
