Year 6
Our topic for Spring 2 is Dangerous Places. We will be developing our understanding of Dangerous Places by exploring the countries located along the Pacific Ring of Fire, strengthening our map skills by identifying them and considering the benefits and risks of living in these areas.
In English we will be writing tension tales using Francis (a short film) as a stimulus, as well as informal letters from the perspective of someone living near the Pacific Ring of Fire. The children will write their letters using varying degrees of formality, focusing on conjunctions, parenthesis and subordinate clauses.
In Maths we will be focusing on measurement, including angles. We will also learn how to calculate the area and perimeter of triangles, and interpret line graphs and pie charts. Alongside continuing to develop our arithmetic skills, we will be revisiting volume and fractions, as well as a range of previously taught concepts, such as time and money.
In Reading, we will be exploring a range of fiction and non-fiction texts to support our learning across the curriculum; please encourage your child to read at home for at least 20 minutes each day.
Our Science topic is ‘Animals including Humans’. We will be learning about the circulatory system and the effects of diet, exercise and lifestyle on the human body.
In RE, we will be learning about Humanism, exploring questions such as “How do Humanists decide what is right and wrong?” and “What impact can our actions have on others?”
In PE, outdoor lessons will focus on developing the children’s pace and stamina through athletics, while indoor sessions will build their aim and precision through volleyball.
In PD our topic is ‘Healthy Me’ and children will be learning about how to keep themselves safe and their bodies healthy.
