Our learning this term:
Maths:
This half term, we will be carrying out some thematic projects where we will bring together all of our maths skills from Key Stage Two.
English:
This half term will be looking at three text types: we will have a go at writing our own school report, summarising the amazing year we have had, Varmins, a great story showcasing how environments are impacted by people, and a biography, linking to our geography topic of The Great Outdoors.
Science:
How do I know that light travels in a straight line by looking at a shadow and how do I prove this?
This term, Year 6 will explore how light travels, how it creates shadows, and how it helps us see!
Geography:
Do maps have a purpose in modern day society?
Building on everything we learned on our residential about orienteering and navigating with maps, we will have a look at the uses of maps today and why they are important.
Art:
Design and Technology
This term, we will be planning, prepping and cooking up a feast to celebrate our end of year. We will have a look at how British food has been inspired by many cultures around the world
Computing:
Can I use a Micro:bit?
This term, we will be using micro:bit devices to further build on our early coding skills. We will be creating code to achieve a variety of goals and will debug as we go to practise our computing problem solving skills.
Music:
Production
This term, we will be working on our end of year production which we are hoping to showcase to our parents at the end of the year. We will use this term to consolidate all our music learning from the year and further building on our singing and group music skills.
Spanish:
Me in the world – This term, we will be looking at how we can describe who we are, where we live, and how we can look after the planet. We will be building up our Spanish vocabulary and speaking short dialogues to one another.
PSHE/RSE
Our PSHE topic for this half term ‘Relationships – Growing Up’. This term, we will be looking at how our bodies change as we are growing up and how our emotions will change too. We will continue our conversations about healthy relationships, specifically focusing on what a healthy relationship looks like as we grow up.
More information about this will be sent out to parents prior to us teaching about sexual relationships.
