Welcome back! We trust that you and your children had a fantastic half term and are now ready to embark on their last term here at Rockliffe Manor. We are thrilled to present the Year 6 curriculum newsletter for the Summer term, where you can explore the incredible learning opportunities that await your children during this upcoming period.
We will use our core text, Stella by Starlight, a moving novel about a young girl growing up in the racially segregated American South during the 1930s. Through courage and determination, Stella finds her voice and stands up for justice in the face of fear and inequality.
Our learning in maths will focus on using skills and methods learnt throughout the year in order to help the children with themed projects.
In Science, we will be continuing to learn about light and exploring how light is able to pass through certain objects. We will also be looking at refraction and how it causes light to bend.
In Grammar this term, we will be recapping previous units in order to bridge gaps. The units that will be covered are word classes, pronouns, passive and active voice, subordinate clauses and punctuation.
In Computing we will be learning how to programme and use microbits through coding.
In RE we will be continuing to learn about different types of places of worship in Greenwich and the significance of beliefs.
In PE, we will be developing our accuracy skills, defending, invasion and shooting skills in a variety of ball games and will also be taking part in gymnastics lessons.
In Art, the children will be creating sports themed Art focusing on Tennis. The will create 3D replica's of tennis raquets during Arts Fortnight.
In French, the children will be recapping their knowledge of modes of transport and verbs.
In Music, the children will be answering the question "How Does Music Connect Us with Our Past?" The children will also design and make their own Creative Compositions.
In RHE, we will be identifying the different changes our bodies go through as we grow up and the different stages that are to be expected for both boys and girls during puberty.
