Welcome to the Year 6 page!

Autumn Term

We would like to say a huge welcome back to you and the children after the summer holidays. This will be their final year in primary school and they have lots of new and interesting topics they will be learning about this term. 

Core Subjects

English - During this term, pupils will be exploring the text Cogheart, by Peter Bunzl. They will use this text to focus on writing character descriptions and narrative re-telling.                                                                                

Maths - In maths, pupils will be extending their understanding of place value, including numbers up to 10 million. They will use their understanding to work with these numbers using the four operations. 

Science - Our topics for science this term will be Electricity, where pupils will explore circuits and then they move onto delving deeper into Animals, including humans.  

Foundation Subjects

History & Geography - In our history topic, pupils will be learning about a variety of British Monarchs throughout history. Whilst in Geography, pupils will be studying the physical processes of earthquakes, mountains and volcanoes.

Art & DT - This term our art topic will be drawing and painting where pupils will explore enlarging an image from a sketch, as well as combine colours to create tones and tints for effect and purpose. Our DT projects will involve cooking street foods from different cultures and pupils will investigate mechanisms, designing and make their own gears product.

PSHE & R.E. - Our school values for this term will be Resilience and Kindness. During our class sessions we will focus these values. In our RE lessons, pupils will be exploring the Hindu religion and understanding why they want to be good.

Homework 

Each week, we will set work for English, Maths and Spelling to support learning in class.  Homework is given out on a Friday and should be completed by the following Friday.
