Year 6H 2025 - 2026

Welcome to 6H

Welcome back after the half term break!   

In English, we will be focussing on different genres of writing where the children have the opportunity to edit and redraft their work; ensuring each piece of writing shows their true potential. We will start by looking at ‘Goodnight Mister Tom’. We will be reading the story in class and basing our writing around it. We will be using the thoughts and feelings of the characters to produce our writing. We will then be moving onto chronological reports, thinking about the short film clip ‘Lighthouse’.

In Maths, we will begin by looking at fractions, decimals and percentages. Then we will move onto looking at area, perimeter and volume. Children will be taking part in “Freckle Maths” and answering questions that are marked automatically and then are tested at the end. We will continue with the competition between the classes on TT Rock stars, and we will see which class wins just before the end of the term.

In Science, we will be looking at ‘Living things and their Habitats’. Children will get the opportunity to learn about Carl Linnaeus and his classification system. In History, the topic we are looking at is ‘What was Life like for Children during WW11?’ We will be learning about how the war effected the world globally, thinking mainly about children. In DT, we will be focussing on designing and creating  our own slippers.

The Christian Value we will explore is ‘Justice’. This half term, we will be focussing on The Easter story and ‘What difference does the resurrection make to Christians’, the children will be answering Big Questions and posing their own.

We are looking forward to another exciting term with Year 6!

Thank you for your continued support, The Year 6 Team!
