Welcome to Year 6 Class Page!

Year 6 – Autumn 2

Maths – This half term will involve deepening understanding in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Children will learn how to solve problems using all four operations, solve missing number problems, find factor pairs including common factors, find common multiples and explore square, cube numbers and prime numbers.

English – Children will study the narrative: Holes by Louis Sachar. The children will begin the topic by exploring the front cover and blurb to predict what might happen in the text. They will then write a description, which will involve applying their knowledge of personification, metaphors, similes, prepositions and expanded noun phrases. Later in the topic, children will write the ending to the story.

Science – Children will be studying the theory of Evolution. They will study fossils and look at how things have changed over time, how living things produce offspring but they may not be identical to their parents and how animals and plants have adapted to their environment leading to evolution.

RE – This half term we will be answering the question: Was Jesus the Messiah?

PE/Swimming – Children will alternate weeks attending swimming lessons and participating in PE lessons. In PE, they will be learning the skills to play cricket.
