YEAR 6 | UNIT 2
UNIT OF INQUIRY
WHO WE ARE
Students will explore why people move from one place to another and how migration shapes lives and societies. They will investigate different forms of migration and the challenges migrants face. Through concepts like form, change, and causation, students will understand what drives human movement and how it affects both individuals and communities. They will build research and communication skills while developing empathy and open-mindedness. This unit encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of our shared human journey.
LANGUAGE
THE WRITER'S JOURNEY
Students will explore personal narratives, journals, and diaries to understand how writers share meaningful experiences. They will learn how structure, voice, and word choice evoke emotion and create vivid imagery. By connecting personal memories to universal themes, students will craft stories that reflect identity, relationships, and change. They will revise with purpose, use figurative language effectively, and express ideas clearly. This unit builds empathy, self-awareness, and the power of personal storytelling.
MATHS
NUMBER OPERATIONS
Students will investigate how number operations connect and help solve real-world problems. They will explore addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division using models, patterns, and reasoning. Through inquiry, they will deepen understanding of ratios, order of operations, and how algorithms represent thinking. Students will develop mental strategies, estimate, and explain their steps clearly. They will build accuracy and flexibility with whole numbers and decimals, growing confidence in complex calculations through hands-on tasks and collaborative problem-solving.
SHAPE & SPACE
Students will investigate how shapes, space, and position help us understand and interact with our environment. They will explore properties of 2D and 3D shapes, measure and construct angles, and use scale, coordinates, and geometric tools to solve problems. Through inquiry, students will develop spatial reasoning and visualize relationships between shapes. They will build skills in classifying, drawing, and transforming shapes, and applying geometry in real-life contexts. This unit deepens understanding through hands-on exploration, reflection, and collaboration.
MEASUREMENT
Students will explore how measurement helps us understand and describe the world. They will use standard units to measure length, area, volume, mass, capacity, and time. Through inquiry, they will compare, convert, and apply units to real-life problems. They will investigate how accuracy depends on tools and context. Students will develop skills in using formulas, estimating, and choosing appropriate strategies. This unit builds confidence in applying measurement in meaningful, everyday situations through hands-on tasks and collaborative thinking.
