Welcome to Year 6!

The teachers in Year 6 are Mrs Cogram (Year Leader), Mr Griffiths and Miss Evans.  They are supported by Mrs Pullen.

Year 6 is a very important year in Key Stage 2 as it is a time of transition between primary and secondary education. We intend to make the children's final year in primary school successful, memorable and to ensure that they take their love of learning with them on their journey through education. 

In the Autumn term, we begin with a Geography theme based  around population change, and the factors that contribute to this. In the second half of the term, our History learning focuses on collecting data from census through time, specifically finding out more about the Victorian era. We will also be exploring these themes through our art, writing and reading lessons

In the Spring term, ‘World War II: How did it change Britain?’ will be the question driving our learning. Using literature, drama and a variety of historical sources, we will explore the impact and legacy of WW2 on Britain and the wider world. Alongside this, our geography learning continues by exploring where energy comes from and how we use energy in the modern world.

During the Summer term, our final project is based around our chosen Year 6 play. This provides us with a wonderful opportunity to immerse the children in drama and our literary heritage, inspiring an appreciation of language and the performing arts.

For many, a highlight of the year is our residential trip to Tile Barn in the Summer term. We camp for the week in a beautiful part of Hampshire, taking part in outward bound activities such as, abseiling, high ropes climbing, archery as well as a number of team building activities and camp fires. It is a wonderful week, which builds the children's confidence and independence.  

The Year 6 team are very excited for the year ahead and look forward to working with you and the children to make this a memorable year.
