If you need more ideas for when you write your balanced argument about heart transplants, here are some from a few of you!

English:

Have a look at some of your ideas for and against heart transplants. If you couldn’t find or think of any, here are some of the points I found:

For: saves lives, developments in science

Against: danger of operation, religious beliefs, ethical issues (causing harm/damage to others)

Use these points to develop your argument for each area: think about rhetorical questions, emotive formal language (no contractions such as can’t won’t) and modal verbs (should, would, may, might). Use the WAGOLL example at the bottom of this post – we look forward to reading your balanced arguments on Seesaw.

PSHE/Reflection:

Watch the virtual assembly here linked to the above question: https://vimeo.com/channels/picturenews

Hi year 6!

I have been very excited this week to share a special video for you all. I know so many of you wanted to dissect a pig’s heart as part of your memorable experience for the Blood Heart topic but sadly we have been unable to do this…. BUT! I decided I would do it for you and share my experience!

NOTE: children you MUST get permission from an adult at home before you watch the video as I want to make sure your adults are happy for you to view it due to its content.

Post the answers to the questions I ask on the Seesaw page but the main thing is.. enjoy watching 🙂
