What are we learning about in Term 2?
Welcome to Term 2
Topic
Our topic title is ‘It’s not Terry’s, it’s Mayan!’ and if you haven’t guessed, it’s about the Mayan civilisation. We will be learning about what the Mayans ate, their number system and calendar, what they believed in and about importing and exporting.
Maths
Our learning this term in Maths will be mainly on all things fractions. We will be recapping how to order and compare fractions; add and subtract them and learn how to multiply and divide with fractions. There will also be work on ratio and proportion.
English
Our English this term will be based entirely on our topic of the Mayan Civilisation and will closely follow the gripping novel ‘Middleworld’ by J&P Voelkel. We will be writing a diary entry as the main character, creating a persuasive leaflet, writing some suspense narratives and finish with a technology-packed book review including a greenscreen
Science
In Science this term we will be learning all about evolution and inheritance. We will explore how scientists know that living things have changed; learn about variation and how it leads to evolution and find out about how living things adapt to their environment.
Computing
Computing this term will be about media creation. Over the course of the term, we will learn how to create an effective web page.
PE
PE this term will be Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning and will be dodgeball and fitness. Please ensure the correct PE kit is worn including hair tied back and no earrings/jewellery.
Religious Education
This term we will continue with our ‘Understanding Christianity’ scene where we will be learning about Gospel as part of the Big Story of Christianity with the majority of out learning linking back to the phrase, ‘What would Jesus do?’
Here’s to an excellent term, Mr Churchill and the Year 6 Team.
