Year 6 2024 - 2025

Welcome Class of 2025 to the Summer Term of Year 6

During this term, we will be studying “Crime and Punishment” in history. This topic will focus on the history of the justice system over the last 1000 years, from the early days of William the Conquerer, through the middle ages and beyond. The children will study how things have changed over time, culminating in how systems and conditions have improved over the last century.

Book Study

This term, we will continue our book study of the Invention of Hugo Cabret, as well as exploring the wonderful stories in Survivors, a book about amazing feats of endurance and survival by David Long and illustrated by Kerry Hyndman.

Maths                                                                  

In maths, we will build on our previous learning, continuing to recap and revise topic areas including number, calculations, fractions, percentages, ratio, measurement, shapes and handlind data.

Increasingly, we will target specific areas of weakness so that you can continue to improve and succeed.

Science

This term, we are due to study electricity and will do so largely through online simulations. However, if any of you have any home science kits you may find their are electrical circuit components to them.

Predominantly this term, we will explore the phenomenon of science through practical demonstrations and investigations. Even when at home, keep in mind the following types of scientific inquiry:

• observation over time
• pattern seeking
• identifying, classifying and grouping
• comparative and fair testing
• research using secondary resources
