Welcome to the Year 6 Class Page
Year 6- Caring, Learning and Achieving Together!
Important Information
Our topic for the Autumn term is called 'The World in our Hands'. This is a topic with a Humanities focus. We will be learning about current issues, including global warming, deforestation and coral bleaching. We will learn about sustainability and what it means to be a good citizen of the World.
In Literacy, we will be focusing on spelling, punctuation and grammar. We will also be studying Reading Behaviours, using a book called Hidden Figures as a stimulus. We will also be looking at a book called Malala’s Magic Pencil about the life of Malala Yousafzai. The book covers these themes of equality and the right to an education.
In our Numeracy work this term, we will be concentrating on number and measure. This will include: ratio, algebra, fractions, decimals and percentages and area, perimeter and volume.
