Year 6

Our topic for Spring 2 is ‘Right or Wrong?’ We will be discussing moral dilemmas, learning about crime and punishment since the Roman era and developing our artistic skills through the form of graffiti.

This term in English: we will be continuing to write based on The Landlady by Roald Dahl. Children will be writing a range of letters, in varying degrees of formality and focusing on using conjunctions, parenthesis and relative/subordinate clauses. When your child writes at home, please encourage them to edit their writing. They should look for errors in punctuation and spelling – they can refer to the Year 5 and 6 Spelling List – this can be found by typing ‘Year 5 and 6 spelling list’ into a search engine or you can ask your child’s teacher for a copy. 

In Maths as well as continuing to develop our arithmetic skills, we will be learning about, ratio, statistics and algebra. We will also be revisiting a range of previously taught concepts, such as time, money and volume. 

In Reading, our core text is ‘A Girl of Ink and Stars’ by Kiran Millwood Hargrave. We will be exploring how the characters are developed throughout the text and how we can infer information using clues from the text. We are looking forward to changing our library books too! 

Science: 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. 

For RE: we will be exploring why Lent and Easter are important times in the Christian year. We will be visiting St Nicholas’s church to speak to the vicar about the importance of Easter. 

In PE:  Athletics and Volleyball.

In Computing we will explore how easily information can be shared online and whether being unkind online is the same as being unkind in real life.

In Humanities we will look at some of the questions we will be answering include ‘Why were certain crimes prevalent at different times?’ and ‘Are punishments today fairer than punishments given in the past?’. 

In PD, our topic is ‘Healthy Me’ and children will be learning about how to keep themselves safe and their bodies healthy. This will also include a lesson linked to the morals behind crimes.
