Year 6

Welcome to our Year 6 Curriculum page 

Year 6 is a very exciting year as it is the children's final year in primary school. It is a year where we prepare children for secondary school and build up their independence. 

The Year 6 team are really looking forward to a wonderful and exciting year and we know you will have a fantastic year with us. We have many interesting learning journeys to take which have been carefully crafted to ensure you will have a year of high-quality learning. 

In Geography, we will start off the school year learning about The Rhine and the Mediterranean. In term 2 our focus is on Population. For term 3, we study Coastal processes and landforms. In term 4, children will learn about Tourism. In term 5, our focus will be Earthquakes. Finally, in term 6, we'll finish the year studying Deserts. 

In History, from Terms 1 to 6, we will be learning about empires, rulers, trade, religious beliefs, education and wars by studying the following:  The Roman Republic, The Roman Empire, Roman Britain, Christianity in three Empires, Arabia and Early Islam and Cordoba: City of light.

In Science, we will start the year with a focus on Plants learning about the parts, needs and their life cycle. We will progress our learning on to Rocks in Term 2 followed by Light in Terms 3 and  Animals including humans in Term 4. Forces and Magnets will be the focus of learning in Term 5 and, finally, Term 6 will focus on Working Scientifically as children look at the relationship between bees and their environment and the importance of pollination as we complete our Bee project module. Throughout these modules, the children will study famous scientists including Mary Seacole and Jan Baptiste Van Helmont.
