Year 6B

Welcome to Year 6! We are very excited for an important and memorable year together. Throughout the year, we will work hard in all areas of the curriculum, building on the skills the children have developed so far and encouraging them to reach their full potential.

This year will be packed with a wide range of learning experiences designed to inspire curiosity and enjoyment. From creative classroom projects to practical problem-solving activities, every child will have the chance to thrive. We are also looking forward to trips and visits that will help bring our learning to life and provide wonderful memories for the children.

Please revisit this page regularly to see the amazing things the children will achieve this year. With hard work, teamwork, and enthusiasm, we are sure it will be a fantastic journey for everyone in Year 6!

Timetable

Autumn 1

English

In English, we will be reading our first class novel, The Nowhere Emporium. We will follow the writing sequence - creating interest, reading response and reading analysis, gathering content, planning, writing and presentation.  

Maths

In our Maths lessons, we will be learning about the place value of digits within larger numbers. We will be reading and writing , comparing, ordering and rounding numbers to ten million.  

Science

We will develop a clear understanding of how light travels in straight lines and how shadows are formed when objects block the light. The children will explain how the size and shape of shadows change depending on the position of the light source, and will use scientific vocabulary confidently to demonstrate their understanding. 

In Science, will be learning about animals and their habitats. We will explore how living things are classified into groups based on their similarities and differences, and how scientists use keys to identify them. 

Geography

In our topic on biomes, we will learn that different parts of the world have unique climates, plants, and animals that are specially adapted to survive there. We will explain the importance of biomes in helping people, animals, and plants live, and why it’s important to protect them from threats like deforestation and climate change.

RE

Our key question for RE in Year 6 is, 'Is life like a journey?' We will revisit this question throughout the whole of Year 6. In Autumn 1, we will consider this question whilst learning about the religion of Hinduism.
