This half term, Y6 have dived into their learning about global warming and climate change. They have enjoyed learning about real life issues and have used these to inspire their writing.
We began our learning by becoming experts on the causes of climate change and what we can do to stop global warming. We listened to Greta Thunberg’s speeches and devised our own list of features to include in order to persuade the listener to care.
We held our very own COP 26 where pupils took on the roles of some of the world’s leaders and debated how we can make a positive difference.
Following all our learning about persuasive writing, Y6 then wrote their own persuasive speeches about a subject matter that they are passionate about. These ranged from issues such as deforestation and animal rights to racism in football and sexism in sports.
