Year 6

Spring term 2023

After a fabulous start to the year with lots of exciting learning, Year 6 are looking forward to beginning a new Spring term.

We have lots of learning to do and interesting new topics to discover and explore. We have been working hard on our homework so far and have some fun, imaginative new projects to begin in Spring.

History 

The Spring term will be all about the Tudors so get exploring, ready to learn and delve deeper into the fascinating lives of royalty and their subjects during this incredible period in history.

Geography

The Spring term will take us on a journey of discovery through a range of biomes including the Savannah, the desert and tropical rainforests.

Science

 This term is all about Space! We will be learning all about the solar system, delving into the sun, moon and gravitational pull. We will even have a go at making our own 3D modal solar system!

Maths

In Maths, we will be focused on consolidating the four operations and deepening our strategies and knowledge. We will be focusing on reasoning questions, time, fractions and large numbers.

 Art and DT

This term we will be studying the Art of Anatomy. We will be looking carefully at key artists from the area, and how they draw the human body. We will then use these techniques to replicate on our own drawings and sculptures. 

SATS will be upon us in May so we will also be working hard to consolidate reading comprehensions, spelling and grammar this term.

We have so many exciting activities planned this half term including trips, workshops and our Y6 residential trip!

 

Autumn Term 2022

Welcome to Year 6!

We are extremely excited to begin a new academic year. This term we will be revisiting and deepening our knowledge of some of the topics started in Year 5. We have lots of exciting learning and activities planned this term, and we can’t wait to get started!

 

Science

In science, we will be investigating chemistry this term, beginning by predicting, planning and carrying out a range of experiments to understand materials, solubility and filtration.

History

We will be recapping studying the Ancient Greeks this term, delving into Greek mythology and the Gods themselves as well as producing some of our own Greek pottery!

Geography

This term, we will be taking a trip to North and South America, revisiting and deeming the knowledge we already have and investigating all these fascinating places have to offer.

Art and DT

Through the work of Henri Matisse, we will learn all about Impressionist art and develop the skills to create our own paintings in the style of these great artists. In DT, we will learn about frame structures, we will investigate, explore and create different frame structures both individually and as a team. We hope our final pieces will be real working kites. 

English

In English we will be starting our new topic as a school, looking at the book ‘Africa, Amazing Africa'. We will work with the rest of the school to learn a range of writing styles, and will use all of the skills that we have already learned in year 5.

Maths

In Maths we will be recapping the skills that we have learned in Year 5 as well as pushing ourselves to deepen our learning. We will be looking at lots of arithmetic and reasoning questions to become familiar with the format of these questions
