Year Six

Welcome To Year 6!

A warm welcome to our Year 6 page! If your child is in Year 6 then please familiarise yourself with this page as it will let you know the various activities the class are currently involved in.

Mapping the World!

How can maps help us understand place?

This unit has been designed to develop pupil’s geographical skills and fieldwork through understanding maps and their uses. The unit begins by exploring what maps can tell us about the world. Pupils will learn about the different types of maps such as physical, political, topographic, and thematic and they will learn about their different purposes. As pupils explore the maps, they will discover that they provide lots of information about the world around us. However, lesson one highlights an important issue with maps and that is representation. Pupils will explore how cartographers have tried to create equal area maps over the years and they should be encouraged to question and not accept thematic maps at face value.

Important Things to Remember!

Spellings!

Spellings for the week will go out with the children on Monday and we will do a spelling test on Friday. Please encourage your child to practice their spellings at home as there will be DOJO points available to children that have worked hard!

Homework!

Children will be given homework on a Friday and it will be due back in on the following Monday - DOJO points will be awarded to children that give their homework in on time!

Reading!

It is so important to read at home! When you have read at home and get your record signed by an adult you can collect stickers on our class chart! The more stickers you get, the more chance of some amazing prizes!

Uniform!

We have a beautiful uniform at St Mary's and we pride ourselves on our fantastic appearance. Please make sure you attend school in the correct uniform, always looking lovely and neat!
