Year 6

In this term, our learning will be focussed around the question, ‘Are we damaging our world?’. This Geography topic will see us journeying around the world and delving into key environmental issues that we are faced with today. Places such as the Behala dumpsite, the Great Barrier Reef and The Great Pacific Garbage Patch will be a main feature. We will also be reading Trash! By Andy Mulligan, a novel based on the lives of children who live around the Behala dumpsite.

In this unit, based around Disney’s The Lion King, we will be drawing comparisons between William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and The Lion King. The children will be creating 3D masks based on characters from the Lion King using decoupage art. In English, we will be making links between The Lion King and Hamlet, composing pieces using the language of the time. We will also incorporate drama into our English work. In Maths, we will be continuing with our arithmetic whilst learning new skills in statistics, units of measure, geometry and SATS revision.
