Year 6
Welcome to Year 6!
This term our main theme this is World War 2.
In English, we will be writing a recount inspired by the book ‘Letters from the Lighthouse’ by Emma Carroll, which is set in WW2.
In Maths, we will be focusing on improving our fluency. We will also be developing our reasoning and applying skills through solving many different problems. Please help us by practising where you can, especially by supporting your child with learning the time, using money and with their multiplication and division facts.
Our History will be an exploration into World War 2, how it started and how it affected the people at the time. In Art, as well doing a project based on graphic design, we will be looking at art based on WW2, propaganda posters and their desired effects.
See below for more information on the Year 6 curriculum.
During Agora Optimism Week, we thought about our goals for this year and the years ahead at secondary school. We discussed the importance of positive thinking, self-confidence and how optimism can help us realise our dreams. We created totem poles to represent the steps we will need to take to achieve them.
Science - Bright Sparks!
Our Science topic this term is ‘Electricity’. We have had fun investigating what determines the brightness of a bulb by comparing the functions of the different components in a circuit. First, we tried changing the size and number of cells in the circuit and then experimented with different size wires to see how this affected the bulb brightness. Ask your child what conclusions they reached.
