Year 6 2026 - 2027

Mr Hancock

Welcome Class of 2027 to the Autumn Term of Year 6

Welcome to Year 6. You are now the Class of 2027 and this page is intended to be a brief introduction to the best year of primary school. Please see below for some information about subjects. At the bottom of the page are some details about the residential to Robinwoo.

During this term in history, we will be studying the topic of Black and British. This topic focusses on the history of Black people in our country from the Roman period through to present day.

Book Study

This term, we will be studying a classic of children's literature: the Weirdstone of Brisingamen. You may recognise this title from my summer recommended reads but if you haven't read it you'll get the chance this term. The story follows the adventures of siblings Colin and Susan who go to stay with a family friend in Alderley Edge. While there, they meet a mysterious wizard and do battle against dark forces intent on destroying them.

Maths

In maths, we will begin with the topic of place value, the fundamental underpinnings of much of the maths curriculum. We will then move on to study factors and multiples, the four operations and fractions. Additionally, it is essential that you practise your times tables regularly to ensure a firm understanding. To help with this, we will be doing Times Table Rockstars competitions, both in school and at home. The real question of course: Can you beat Mr. Hancock?

Please see below for links to TT Rockstars and BBC BItesize. Bitesize is a great resource to help with revision.
