Introducing our Leavers 2024....

Welcome back to Term 6! The final term of the academic year and the final term of our time in primary school - it has gone so fast! 

We will kick start this term with our exciting residential trip to Manor Adventure. We will also take part in Bikeability, French Day, Corby Athletics, trip to Twycross Zoo and put on an amazing end of year production over the course of the term so it is sure to be a jam-packed, fun one! 

In History, we will be continuing our learning about Crime and Punishment through the ages. We will will learn about the broad trends of crime and punishment, we will look at what crime and punishment was like in the Roman period, the Anglo-Saxon and Viking era, the Medieval and Tudor periods, all the way up to the early modern period and present day.

This term, we will be continuing our Geography unit where we work to answer the big enquiry question of: What is the true human impact on our planet? We will carry out this topic whilst focusing closely on the continent of Africa. We will explore climate, biomes, develop our locational knowledge of the world, investigate food and water distribution on the health of nations, compare the UK to Africa, explore habitats and debate about how us, as humans, negatively and positively impact the planet. A very exciting topic for sure! 

In Maths, we will continue to consolidate all that we have learnt so far in Year 6. We will take part in real life maths scenarios like budgeting and planning a holiday, how far can you take £5? and much much more...

In Science, we will begin our final Science unit in Year 6 which is on Evolution and Inheritance. We will be exploring how living things have changed over time, we will explore how living things produce offspring of the same kind and identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways.

In English this term we will be starting our new class read which will be revealed to the Eagles in week 1. We will be writing numerous pieces of writing this term based on this particular book. We will also be inspired by our end of year production to write our own scene for a script. 

In RE this term we will continuing our learning about Good and Bad times. This topic will involve us thinking about life and death as well as exploring how different religions see and think about these events.

PE in Term 6 will be on Monday and Thursday. We will be working on our athletics skills prior to our Corby Athletics event. We will also be working on our cricket skills this term.
