Y6 Curriculum
Welcome to Y6’s class page!
The Year 6 team are delighted to welcome pupils back for the Spring term. This term, your teachers will be Miss Revill and Mrs Lillie, supported by our dedicated learning assistants, Mrs Jones, Mrs Billingsley and Mrs Lendrum.
We will begin the term with an exciting Geography topic focused on The USA and beyond. It is a study of North America. We will learn about the continent itself, migration to USA and trade across North America. As we enter the second half term, we will begin our history study of the Golden Age of Islam.
In addition to our main topics, you will continue to build your skills in Science, French, PE, Computing, RE and PSHE, all taught on a weekly basis.
#Rotherhamlovesreading
Our core text for writing and reading is:
-
Shackleton's Journey by William Grill
-
Birdsong by Katya Balen
-
The Arabian Nights stories
Things to remember:
- Y6 will receive weekly, Friday homework to complete over the weekend and return on the following Monday. This will focus on knowledge or skills taught that week so the children have more opportunity to practise.
-
PE lessons are on Thursdays and Fridays so children need to come in their PE kit on those days. Please ensure your child wears suitable clothing (not jeans or boots). PE kits include a white T-shirt and black/blue joggers/leggings/shorts with trainers/pumps.
