Year 6 – Autumn 2

In Autumn 2
we are learning...

In Writing,  we will be combining our History learning with our writing to create emotive WWII diary entries. We will also explore how mountains are formed before writing our own explanation texts.

In Maths, we will be developing our understanding of fractions, including finding equivalent fractions and solving calculations and problems. We will then move on to measurement, learning to convert between different units.

In Religion & Worldviews (RW), we will be exploring the theme of Incarnation through the big question: What kind of King was Jesus? We will investigate how Jesus used parables to teach people about the Kingdom of God.

In French, We will revisit vocabulary about family and develop our understanding of nouns, adjectives and conjunctions. We will focus on using et (and) and mais (but), as well as recognising and applying adjectival agreement.

In Oracy, we will be building confidence as speakers by developing our presentation skills, learning how to communicate our ideas clearly and effectively to an audience.

In History, we will be exploring WWII and its impact on Leeds. Our learning will include the outbreak of war, key historical figures, evacuation, life on the Home Front, the Leeds Blitz, soldiers from across the Empire and the impact of the Holocaust on our local area.

In PSHE, we will explore self-respect, resilience and the importance of standing up for ourselves and others. We will also consider how to set personal goals and demonstrate respectful behaviour, including online.

In PE and Games, we will be developing our physical skills and confidence through netball and Samba dancing, focusing on coordination, teamwork, technique and performance.

In Music, we will be getting into the festive spirit by developing our instrumental skills and working together to create a group performance of Carol of the Bells.

In DT, we will be developing our sewing skills and creativity by designing and making our own Christmas decorations.
