Welcome to Year 6 Class Page!

Curriculum – This half term, children will be studying Geography and Science. They will begin with becoming Geographers by studying the topic: Biomes. Children will recap and learn the names of continents, oceans, hemispheres, the equator and lines of longitude and latitude and countries in Europe in more detail. Children will then look more closely at Biomes and the different Biomes present across the world. During Week 2 of this unit, we will also be visiting Peak Wildlife Park to look at the different animals there and what Biomes they naturally come from. We will especially be looking at Polar Bears as this will inform a non-chronological report, which we will write following the trip.

Maths – During this half term’s maths lessons, children will revisit previously learnt knowledge in preparation for their SAT tests in May.

PE/ Swimming – PE and Swimming will now be on Tuesday afternoon’s alternatively. PE will consist of developing athletic skills, such as: javelin, shot putt, long jump, 100m and long distance running and hurdles.

Thanks,

Year 6 Team
