Year 6
Our topic for Summer 1 is Dream Catchers.
In English, we will be writing letters of complaint inspired by Roald Dahl's short story The Landlady. In these letters, we will practise maintaining a consistently formal tone and using a range of formal punctuation.
This half term, we will be celebrating the children’s skills as fantastic mathematicians by revisiting and consolidating previously taught areas of mathematics.
In Reading, we will be exploring a range of ambitious texts - including our spine book The Girl of Ink and Stars - to develop the children’s reading fluency, retrieval, inference, and comprehension skills.
This term in Science, the children will be taking on an exciting STEM project—STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics! They will explore the science of flight, learning about the forces that make things soar, as they design, build, test, and refine their own gliders. Working in collaborative groups, the children will draw on their prior knowledge and skills, putting their creativity and problem solving to the test.
In RE, we will continue our learning about Humanism, exploring their views on happiness and the different ways people can lead a fulfilling life.
In Art, we are excited for our annual Arts Weeks, with this year’s theme, ‘Feelings in Bloom.’ Don’t miss the chance to see the children’s wonderful creations at our Arts Open Event next half term!
In PE, children will take part in a variety of Outdoor Adventurous Activities designed to build their problem-solving and teamwork skills.
In PD, we will support the children’s well-being by exploring ways to build positive mind sets and resilience.
