Welcome to 6ES

6ES is a class where hard work, independence and resilience are a focus as the children prepare for the next stage of their learning journey. Although we work hard, there are lots of exciting experiences, laughter, love and smiles long the way. 

Brief information about what you are learning 

English: “Pig Heart Boy”

This term, our Year 6 children will be diving into the captivating world of literature with the novel “Pig Heart Boy” by Malorie Blackman. This thought-provoking book follows the journey of a young boy named Cameron, who faces a unique and controversial medical procedure involving a pig’s heart. The novel sparks discussions about ethics, science, and the importance of compassion. Pupils will engage in various activities, including discussions, creative writing, and a persuasive letter writing task related to the themes explored in the book.

As part of our English curriculum, pupils will be challenged to craft persuasive letters, expressing their opinions on the ethical implications of medical procedures like the one depicted in “Pig Heart Boy.” This activity aims to develop critical thinking skills, articulate expression, and persuasive writing techniques. Pupils will have the opportunity to voice their perspectives on real-world issues raised by the novel.

Mathematics: Ratio, Decimals, Algebra, and Fractions

In the realm of mathematics, Year 6 pupils will tackle various concepts, including ratio, decimals, algebra, and fractions. The curriculum emphasises practical application through problem-solving and reasoning. Our goal is to strengthen mathematical proficiency while cultivating a deeper understanding of how these concepts relate to everyday situations.

Science: Inheritance and Evolution with a Focus on Charles Darwin

Delving into the world of science, Year 6 will explore the fascinating topics of inheritance and evolution. The curriculum includes an in-depth study of the renowned naturalist Charles Darwin and his ground-breaking theories. Through engaging lessons and hands-on activities, students will unravel the mysteries of genetics and evolution, fostering a curiosity for the natural world.

History: World War One

In our history lessons, Year 6 pupils will be transported back in time to explore the complexities of World War One. From the causes and consequences to the daily lives of those affected, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of this pivotal moment in history. Through discussions, projects, and interactive activities, we aim to bring history to life and instil a sense of empathy and historical awareness.

Geography: Polar Regions

Geography takes our children to the polar regions, where they will discover the unique characteristics and challenges faced by these extreme environments. From the Arctic to the Antarctic, pupils will explore the geography, climate, and wildlife that make these regions distinct. This encourages students to connect geographical knowledge with other subjects, fostering a holistic understanding of the world.

We are excited for a half term filled with exploration, critical thinking, and creativity. Together, let’s make Year 6 a memorable and enriching experience for all our children!

Routines and key information:  

Children will have a reading book and a reading for pleasure book. We expect that the books, along with their planner, are brought to school every day as we start each day reading.  

At breaktime, the children can order snack from school (see prices below) or bring their own healthy snack from home such as a cereal bar or a piece of fruit.  

Toast – 35p  

Juice – 55p  

Fruit – 60p
