What are we learning about in Term 4?

Welcome to Term 4

Topic

Welcome to term 4, soldiers. This term you will learn about the horrors and heroism of the war, the courage and sacrifice of the people who fought and lived through it, and the changes and consequences of the war on the world and humanity. So keep your spirits high and your minds sharp, Falcons, and let us tackle this next term of adventure and learning!

Maths Our learning this term will cover the following topics: statistics where we will find out how to draw and interpret pie charts and find the mean; shape where we learn about properties of shapes and how to draw them accurately and geometry where we learn about reflections and translations and plotting shapes in the four quadrants.

English Our class text is ‘Letters from the Lighthouse’ and all of our writing will be based on this gripping story. This will be a very busy term of writing a missing person’s report, diary entries, character descriptions, formal speeches and finish off with creating a radio broadcast using IT.

History

What was Life Like During WW2? Our history this term will all be about World War 2. Children will find out about the causes of war, how civilians supported their country, what some of the significant events were and finish by creating some artwork based on this.

Religious Education This term we will be learning about Judaism with our big question, ‘What is it mean to be Jewish in Britain today?’

Science

In Science this term we will be learning about electricity and learn about circuits, components and what can affect the functions of different components. The unit will end with children creating a WWII-themed model demonstrating what they have learnt about electricity this term. Computing Computing this term will be about using spreadsheets to help sort and organise data in useful ways.

PE

PE sessions will again be on Monday afternoon and Wednesday morning. Please remember that children must have suitable clothing for both inside and outside lessons and be able to remove earrings and tie back back hair as set out in our PE policy.

Here’s to an excellent term, Mr Churchill and the Year 6 Team.
