Welcome to our Year 6 class page!

This is where you can find out about the learning, experiences and exciting activities taking place throughout our Year 6 journey. We will regularly share updates about what we have been exploring in class, as well as important information and key dates, so please visit often.

Year 6 is a memorable and exciting final year of primary school, filled with opportunities to grow, achieve and create lasting memories. Throughout the year, we will embrace new challenges, develop greater independence, take on additional responsibilities and make the most of the many opportunities that come our way.

Please continue to use Class Dojo as our main method of communication between home and school. We will post regular updates about the children's learning and achievements, along with any important announcements and reminders.

             •    Mapping the World   •

This term, our Geography topic is Mapping the World. Pupils will become young cartographers as they explore how maps help us understand the world around us. Building on the fieldwork skills developed throughout KS1 and KS2, children will learn how maps are created, how to use different types of maps, and how to locate places using latitude, longitude and grid references.

Throughout the unit, pupils will develop their geographical enquiry skills by planning and carrying out their own fieldwork investigations in the local area. They will collect and analyse information before using their knowledge to create accurate maps of their surroundings.

By the end of the topic, children will have a deeper understanding of how maps are used to represent the world and will apply their skills as geographers through real-life fieldwork and mapping activities.

How can maps and fieldwork help us to understand a place?
