Year 6 will have a busy start to the year!

This year, Year 6 will be heading off on an unforgettable residential trip to Kilve Court in Somerset. We will take part in exciting activities that will challenge them to try new things, work as a team and grow in confidence.Planned highlights include climbing, abseiling, archery, orienteering, team challenges, and a night walk, as well as opportunities to explore the beautiful Quantock Hills and nearby coastline. 

In our first geography unit, we will be looking at the global population. We will be looking at these key questions:

How is the global population changing?

What are birth and death rates?

Why do people migrate?

How is climate change impacting the population?

How is population impacting our environment?

In science this term, we will be looking at classifying a range of animals both big and small. We will build on our knowledge of different animal groups and look at specific factors that categorise animals.

In PE this term, we are lucky to be having martial art lessons led by Matt. The children will be completing a 6 week training block and will be learning a wide range of kicks and punches. Alongside this, we have signature sports taking the children to do a range of PE games. 

In PSHE, we will be following the new Kapow unit called “Families and Relationships”.  

In Computing, we will be learning how to be Internet Sharp as well as developing our coding skills.
