Welcome to Year 6 Class Page!

Year 6 Summer 1:

Curriculum:

Science: Children will study the topic of the ‘Heart’. By the end of the topic, the children will be able to:

-identify and name the main parts of the human circulatory system, and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood

- recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function

- describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported within animals, including humans.

The children will complete this topic by writing a leaflet explaining how to keep their hearts healthy.

Science: Children will also study the topic of ‘Light’. By the end of the topic, the children will be able to:

-recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines

- use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye

- explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes

- Use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them.

Maths:

Children will revise many of the topics taught across Year 6, in preparation for their SAT assessments, such as place value, the four operations, fractions, decimals and percentages and more.

Physical Education:

Children will have a dance lesson one afternoon a week (there will be no swimming in the summer term).

Many thanks,

Year 6 team
