English
In English, we’ll be revising key writing skills: Vocabulary, conjunctions, openers and punctuation and exploring how to vary our sentence structures for effect. We will be developing newspaper reports – linked to natural disasters around the world whilst studying the story “Ice Trap” written by Meredith Hooper, to inspire writing of different genres.
Maths
In Maths, we’ll be studying fractions, revising the different types of angles and calculating missing angles in a right angle, straight line, whole turn and a range of shapes. In addition, we will begin to convert between different units of measure (time, mass, capacity and length). Throughout the term, we will also be continuing to consolidate our use of formal written methods for the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division)
History
In Year 6, over the next six weeks, we will be following the IPC unit of Existing, Endangered, Extinct.
This unit of learning is part of the International Primary Curriculum. This curriculum sets out very clearly what children will learn in three different areas. In geography, we will be learning about the characteristics of different biomes and earth and how threats to such biomes are causing rapid change. Furthermore, in Science we will be learning about biodiversity, the impact of global warming, food chains and animal adaptation.
Science
In Science, we will be learning about learning through understanding the way the brain works.
