The latest Year 6 Learning Update!

In English next term, year 6 will be looking at the text ‘Survivors’ by David Long and Kerry Hyndman to link to our new topic which looks at natural disasters and how people fight to survive through them. Using these stories as inspiration, the children will write their own survival tales based on historical events.

In Maths, we will be revisiting keep concepts ahead of the children’s upcoming SATs tests.

In science, children will begin to look at Carl Linnaeus and how his system of classification has been
developed and still used today.

In Humanities, the children will begin to look at natural disasters that have occurred around the world and how this has impacted history and how geographical locations impact the types of disasters an area or region may face.

The Y6 team would like to remind parents that Yr 6 boosters will resume after the break at the same
times as they had been previously.
