Dothill Primary School

What have Y6 been up to?

Autumn Term - Week 2

We have all now really settled in to being responsible, independent and mature Year 6s and are setting the standards high for the rest of Dothill!

In reading lessons, we are reading Holes by Louis Sachar - an incredibly entertaining and intriguing story about a young boy named Stanley Yelnats being set to a detention centre called 'Camp Green Lake'. Ask your child these: What is unusual about Stanley's name? What is surprising about Camp Green Lake?

In Science lessons we are learning more about electrical circuits and have been practising recognising when a circuit will or will not work, and using circuit diagrams to represent them.

Towards the end of this half term, we will be making our own model fairground rides in DT. Please could we have any clean pringles tubes, kitchen roll tubes, yoghurt pots and eggboxes brought in over the next couple of week to help with the build!
