Spring 2

In the second half of the Spring Term, in Year 6, we will be continuing with our World War II topic, Operation Moonlight Sonata, linking art and DT with the history and geography. We will link our writing using an animation called ‘Beyond the Lines’, creating narratives and persuasive writing. In Maths, our focus will be fractions, decimals and percentages and area, perimeter and volume. The Circulatory System is the Science unit and we will also have a focus on lifestyles. 

Year 6 – Autumn 2

In the second half of the Autumn Term, Year 6 will be writing a description based on Kensuke’s Kingdom, then moving on to writing a non-chronological report linked to this book.  After this we will look at Shaun Tan’s The Arrival, writing a narrative and a journal entry.  In Maths, our focus will be all on fractions – comparing, ordering and calculating.  Electricity is the next Science unit followed by looking at renewable energy and sustainability. ‘Creation’ will be the RE learning and 'Catastrophe' which is based on natural disasters will continue to be the focus in Topic, looking at earthquakes in geography followed by art links. In PE, we will be preparing for the Year 6 Sports hall Athletics Competition!

Welcome to Year 6 2024-2025

We have had a great start to the year!

Welcome to Year 6 2023 – 2024!

To start the new school year we have been sharing the text, ‘Our Class is a Family’ written by Shannon Olsen. We have thought about being part of a team as a class and a school and other teams we belong to. We have thought about our ‘jobs’ as learners and what makes a great learning partner and a really amazing friend.

Take a look at what we are learning about next this term!

Summer 1

In the first half of the Summer Term, Year 6 will be writing a formal letter of complaint and a narrative based on a short animation called Alma; the narrative will help the children to show atmosphere and plot development, as well as integrating speech and dialogue to advance the action and develop the character. In Maths, we will be working on area, perimeter and volume; statistics; shape; and position and direction. In RE, we will be looking at Christianity and Gospels.  We will continue exploring the circulatory system in Science, in addition to variations in species and adaptations.  Our new topic will be I Will Shine, linking the history of theatre production with our end of year performance! 

Year 6 – Spring 2 2024

In the second half of the Spring Term, Year 6 will be writing a persuasive text, linked with Coventry and using Firebird as a stimulus for writing and artwork. In Maths, our focus will be fractions, decimals and percentages and area, perimeter and volume. The Circulatory System is the Science unit and in RE, we will pose and discuss the question, ‘What difference does the resurrection make for Christians?’. We will continue with our Operation Moonlight Sonata topic, linking art and DT.

Autumn 1

In the first half of the Autumn Term, Year 6 will be reading Kensuke’s Kingdom, using this as a stimulus for poetry and setting descriptions.  In Maths, we will begin with place value and written methods for all 4 operations.  Electricity is the first Science unit followed by looking at renewable energy and sustainability. The Creation Story will start our RE learning and whether science is contradictory or complementary – this should spark some in-depth discussions.  Our first topic is 'Catastrophe' which is based on natural disasters. We will look at tectonic plates and where the plate boundaries are located.

Autumn 2

In the second half of the Autumn Term, Year 6 will be writing a narrative based on Kensuke’s Kingdom, then moving on to writing a non-chronological report.  After this we will look at Floodland by Marcus Sedgwick.  In Maths, our focus will be all on fractions – comparing, ordering and calculating.  Living Things & Habitats is the next Science unit followed by looking at renewable energy and sustainability. ‘Was Jesus the Messiah?’ will be the RE learning and 'Catastrophe' which is based on natural disasters will continue to be the focus in Topic, looking at earthquakes in geography followed by art and DT links.
