Wonder, Believe, Shine & Achieve - Welcome to Year 6!
Summer Term
Welcome to the final and most exciting term of Year 6! As pupils prepare for secondary school, this term is filled with creative learning, personal growth, and opportunities to celebrate their achievements.
A key milestone this term is the End of Key Stage 2 SATs. Children will be supported through focused revision and wellbeing activities to ensure they feel confident and ready. Learning across the curriculum will be enriched by Tinkology—a hands-on, creative approach that encourages innovation and problem-solving in every subject. In English, children will study Holes and The Road Not Taken, using narrative, poetry, and reflective writing to explore themes of justice and resilience. Maths will focus on properties of shapes, statistics, and problem-solving, with opportunities for real-life application and model-building. In Science, pupils will investigate evolution, light, and develop enquiry skills through practical experimentation. History explores WWII and ancient Maya civilisation, while Geography focuses on migration, settlements, and global journeys. Through our Mantle of the Expert project, children become ‘tour guides,’ combining research, creativity, and presentation skills.
In the arts, pupils will explore pop art, printing, and WWII music, while in D&T, they’ll build themed suitcases and create chocolate inspired by Mayan culture. PE includes tennis, cricket, gymnastics, athletics, and rounders.
A highlight of the term is the end-of-year production, where children showcase their talents on and off stage, bringing together everything they’ve learned. As the term draws to a close, we celebrate a fantastic year of curiosity, creativity, and readiness for the exciting journey ahead.
