Year 6

Current Topic - Term 1
Our main topic for this block is called Climate Heroes. Throughout the term, the children will be actively exploring different countries in Europe and investigating their environmental impacts through independent research. This geographical focus heavily influences our creative work, particularly in Art, where we will be analyzing the famous works of Hokusai and linking his style directly back to our Climate Heroes theme.
In English, our writing and reading will center around the fantastic novel Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. The children will explore the text deeply, learning to write the story from various perspectives while developing advanced character and setting descriptions. Over in Maths, we will begin the term by securing a strong understanding of place value before advancing through the four core operations. Finally, during our Science lessons, we will be launching an investigation into the biology of animals, including humans.
