Year 6

Summer 2

Learning Journey

In the summer term, we will be looking at the Mayans as part of our History topic. This is moving on from our Geography focus on Rivers and the Amazon Rainforest during the Spring term. We will be looking at how the Mayans lived and what their impact on history was. As well as looking at peace and conflict of the ancient Mayan civilisation and the impact of the Spanish invasion.

Maths

To prepare for secondary school, we are practising arithmetic and looking at some of the most challenging questions that the children found difficult on the reasoning papers. We are recapping all the topics we have looked at throughout the year and some children moving onto a year 7 challenge.

English

We will be doing a variety of writing this half term from narratives, to letters and diaries. We will also be improving the writing we have done throughout the year to ensure children are writing at age related expectations. This includes a variety of genres and topics.

Our book study text this half term will continue with Wolf Wilder and then move onto A Long Walk to Water which looks at Peace and Conflict as part of our global theme.
