Welcome to our Year 6 Curriculum area.

Year 6 Long Term Plan

Autumn 

Revolution

In this History based topic, children will learn about life in Victorian times; developing their knowledge about Victorian culture, including significant people and inventions of the time. Best behaviour please!

Frozen Kingdom

This Geography topic teaches children about the characteristics and features of polar regions, including the North and South Poles, and includes a detailed exploration of the environmental factors that shape and influence them. Time to wrap up warm!

Spring

A Child’s War

In this History topic children will learn about the cause and effect of the Second World War in Britain, with a real focus on the Homefront. Children will cover significant events, changes and people and develop their empathy for what it was like to be a child at the time.

The topic will span the whole Spring Term and inspire many subjects including our writing topics, where children will produce letters, newspaper articles, stories and persuasive speeches.

Year 6 children will also immerse themselves in 'Goodnight Mr Tom' by Michelle Magorian in Reading Lessons to deepen their understanding of what it was like to be a child in Britain during WW2.

Finally, in Art and DT, children explore different artists and mediums to create artwork inspired by the war and model air raid shelters.   

Summer

Amazon

Learning all about the rainforest! Locating, comparing and discovering the many layers. Time to travel around the world to find out how rainsforests support our world.

ID

In this advanced Geography topic, children will develop children’s knowledge of classification and inheritance. Children explore human identity, genetic characteristics, family traits and their own values and beliefs. Time to get researching!
