AUTUMN 2025
Year 6 Autumn Term Learning Overview – Excellence for Everyone
This autumn, Year 6 begin their final and most exciting year of primary school with a curriculum designed to challenge, inspire, and prepare them for the future. In English, we are reading Goodnight Mister Tom, a moving novel set during World War II. This links closely with our History topic, “The World at War,” allowing pupils to explore themes of evacuation, resilience, and friendship through both reading and writing. They will also develop their narrative skills, explore poetry, and take part in formal debates—building confidence in communication and critical thinking.
In Maths, we are focusing on place value and the four operations, with a strong emphasis on arithmetic fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving—key skills for Year 6 success.
In Geography, pupils will explore their local community and consider how they can shape its future through sustainable choices. PE will include tag rugby and hockey, with opportunities to represent the school in local sports tournaments. In Art, we’ll explore typography, combining creativity with design.
In Science, children will be investigating electricity, building on their previous leanring to include where energy comes from and how sustainable energy sources are.
As the oldest pupils in school, Year 6 will also take on leadership roles and reflect on their journey so far—setting the tone for a year of growth, responsibility, and excellence for everyone.
This term our PE day will be on Tuesday and Friday
