In History, we will be learning about Leisure and Entertainment, where children will learn about how and why football became the nation's favourite sport, the social and cultural importance of the 'Swinging Sixties', why British holiday camps emerged and how television has impacted modern life. Children will also learn about how developments in 20th century technology can make life in this century easier.
In Science, we will be learning about Living Things and their Habitats, where the children will learn about the process of the life cycles of plants, mammals, amphibians, insects and birds. The children will explore reproduction in different plants and they will have the opportunity to take cuttings from plants, creating clones of the parent plant. Furthermore, the children will find out about Jane Goodall and her work with the now-endangered chimpanzees in Africa. They will explore metamorphosis in insects and amphibians, comparing their life cycles. As well as this, the children will be learning about Animals including Humans where they will learn about the changes that human beings experience as they develop to late adulthood.

Each term, the children will be given a new ‘Independent Homework Grid’. In Year 6, there will be set ‘hand in’ days at the bottom which is the minimum requirement. Each task should be taken from a different row and column. The amount of time a child chooses to spend on a project is up to them. Please focus on the presentation!
Children should continue to practice their times tables at home to help them improve their weekly scores. Knowing the times tables (and their associated division facts) supports mathematical learning and understanding.
