Hello and welcome to the Year 6 class page! This is where you will find all the information you need to know about what we will be doing in Year 6 this half term. 

To kick of this half term, we will be focusing our learning on ‘Red’ – a story about a blue crayon mistakenly labeled as "red" who suffers an identity crisis. His family and friends do all they can to support him, but will he be the crayon who he wants to be?

In our reading lessons, we will be studying the book, 'Wonder' by R J Palacio. Throughout this story, the children will be challenged on their vocabulary, they will summarise and predict from what they have read and they will answer SATs style questions to improve their understanding. 

In Maths, we are focusing our learning on ratio, algebra and decimals! As always we will be working hard on arithmetic, particularly calculating percentages of amounts.

In Geography, we will be exploring ‘Fair Trade' – analysing the countries along the Silk Road and how the Marco Polo visits the UK every eleven weeks.

In Science, we will be focusing our learning on 'Evolution and Inheritance. By the end of the half term, the children will understand more about Natural Selection and how it was influenced by the Industrial Revolution.

In PE, Coach Nathan will be in to teach PE and, as always, the amazing Mrs Higson will be in school to help Mr Martin teach us how to play the ukulele.

With an exciting half term ahead, please come and visit this page to see our learning journey.
