We are looking forward to a memorable and exciting final half-term with our Year 6 pupils as they prepare to complete their primary school journey and begin the next stage of their education. Alongside reflecting on their achievements and celebrating their time at school, children will continue to enjoy a rich and engaging curriculum while preparing for the transition to secondary school.
English
In English, pupils will study Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle, explore a range of poetry and read Freedom 1783 by Catherine Johnson. Through these texts, children will continue to develop their reading, writing and analytical skills while exploring different genres and themes.
Maths
This half-term, pupils will focus on mathematical investigations and problem-solving activities. They will apply their knowledge and reasoning skills to a range of real-life challenges, developing confidence and resilience as mathematicians.
Science
In Science, children will learn about Evolution and Inheritance. They will study Charles Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection, explore how characteristics are inherited from parents and investigate how plants and animals have adapted over time to survive in different environments.
Unit of Learning – Britain and the Slave Trade
Pupils will continue their study of Britain’s role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade. They will learn about the experiences of enslaved people, the abolition of the slave trade and its lasting impact on society today, encouraging thoughtful discussion and reflection on this important period in history.
Religious Education (RE)
In RE, children will explore how rules and guidance differ across world religions, considering similarities and differences between faith traditions and reflecting on how beliefs influence the lives of individuals and communities.

Children will continue to develop their skills in Gymnastics and Dance during PE lessons, while swimming lessons will continue each Wednesday morning.
Year 6 Production and Transition to Secondary School
As part of their final term celebrations, pupils will be developing their drama and performance skills as they prepare for the Year 6 production of Robin Hood. Alongside rehearsals and end-of-year events, children will take part in transition activities to help them feel confident and ready for the exciting move to secondary school.
