Year 6 2024 - 2025
Superb Summer Term
Welcome to the Summer Term 2025! Your teachers will continue to be Mrs Ashcroft and Mrs Walker. Can you guess which teacher is which photo?
We have lots of exciting learning planned to take us from now until the summer holidays!
History
In this curriculum area, we will be investigating the Industrial Revolution. Our sessions will be exploring the key question of ‘How the Industrial Revolution changed Britain and Macclesfield.’ We will be looking at the invention of the steam engine, and how the cotton industry was revolutionised by the invention of machinery.
Science
The children will be investigating light. They will recognise that light travels in straight lines, and use this knowledge to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them.
French
This term, the children will engage in conversations using familiar vocabulary to ask and answer questions.
PSHE/RE
The children will continue to learn about themselves in the wider world, focusing on building and maintaining friendships, resolving conflict and setting personal goals. They will also learn more about different faiths and beliefs.
Computing
Using Purple Mash, children will extend their knowledge about how to create engaging presentations. They will also explore new functions within spreadsheets and databases.
P.E.
This year, Y6 will have PE on Tuesday and Thursday and should come to school in their P.E. kits on these days. This term we will be developing our skills in Kinball and Rounders.
Homework
Homework be set and collected using Teams and will consolidate the work done in class in English and Maths. It will go home on a Friday and due in the following Wednesday.
