Year 6

Our theme of learning for the Autumn term is Rivers of Change. In History, we will travel back in time to explore the fascinating world of the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, discovering how they lived, fought and shaped Britain. In Geography, we will investigate the question, “How does water shape our world?” We will explore rivers, mountains and the water cycle, developing our understanding of how water constantly changes and shapes the world around us.

Linking to our learning on Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, our English class texts will be How to Train Your Dragon and Beowulf. We will develop our reading, writing and vocabulary skills while exploring a range of genres, including newspaper reports, diary entries and fantasy stories. Along the way, we will strengthen our understanding of Year 6 grammar, punctuation and figurative language, helping us to become confident, creative and purposeful writers.
