Welcome back! We trust that you and your children had a fantastic spring break and are now rejuvenated and eager to continue their exciting year at Woodhill. 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.
This term, the children will be exploring Roald Dahl's short story, The Landlady, to write suspense narratives. They will look at the author's use of tone and atmosphere to develop foreshadowing techniques, and then apply this in their own writing of altnerative endings.
This half term, the children's maths lessons will focus on revising prior units, including measurement, shape and fractions. There will be a large focus on the four operations and using these to reason and solve problems across the maths curriculum.
Our learning in Science will be learning 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 in preparation for SATs. The units that will be covered are word classes, pronouns, passive and active voice, subordinate clauses and punctuation.
In Computing we will be learning about different types of Esafety and different computing systems and networks.
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 repeated patterns using the technique of printing. They will be using patterns found across the continent of Africa as inspiration for their design.
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.
