Year 6

Welcome to Year 6!

Welcome to the Year 6 page. Here, you can find information about the Year 6 curriculum and upcoming events, but don't forget to check School ClassDojo for information on letters as well as more frequent updates from us.

We expect the children to be accessing Reading Plus on a regular basis and practise their spellings on Edshed, as well as using online platforms such as Times Tables Rockstars and MyMaths to consolidate their mathematical understanding.  If you require login details, please contact Miss Hennessy or Mr Hyde.

English

This term, our text will be 'Darwin's Dragons' by Lindsay Galvin, a fictional story set around the real-life explorations of Charles Darwin and his research in evolution and inheritance. 

Maths

Our maths work over the coming term will focus on area, perimeter and volume, before integrating our calculation skills into the strands of statistics and geometry. 

History

We will be continuing at the start of term with our study of life for Britons in WW2, building on what we learnt before the Christmas holidays.

Geography

We will look at biomes and the various forms they take around the world. Alongside this, we will also be studying levels of precipitation around the world and how this links directly with the vegetation and animal species found there.

Science

Our main science focus this term will be evolution and inheritance. We will be studying the characteristics that we inherit from our parents and family, as well as those that are environmental. We will learn about different theories of evolution throughout history, compare them and the research that supports each one.
