Welcome to our Year 6 page.

We have a exciting Summer term ahead!

The adults supporting us in class are Miss Barker and Mrs Atwood.

PE days are every Wednesday and we ask pupils to come into school in their PE uniform.

We are going to be exploring the topic of Shakespeare. Throughout this term we will be exploring and learning to answer the following questions:

• Was the theatre a place for all members of Elizabethan society to be equal?
• Did human or physical processes have a larger impact on the setting of Shakespeare’s play?

We will then collaboratively work on the following projects:

• Programme your own treacherous Shakespeare maze game
• Create a collage to showcase the mood of a Shakespeare play
• Taking inspiration from the Globe, create a working theatre

In our English lessons, we will using the play Macbeth to inspire our writing.

Alongside our learning about Shakespeare, we will also broaden our knowledge of other subjects by answering the questions:

• Why do we classify living things based on their characteristics?
• How do they systems of the body work together to exercise?
• How has belief impacted music and art through history?
• Is it possible for something to always be right (or wrong)?
• Why do people try and gain power and control in relationships?
• How does a baby develop from conception to birth?

Then work on the following collaborative projects:

• Music and Identity
• Get acquainted with the family whilst mastering the Spanish alphabet
• Developing our tennis skills

In maths, we will be focusing on converting measures, finding the area, perimeter and volume of shapes and then exploring statistics. The rest of the term will be focused on revision through investigations, allowing pupils to use their maths skills in inquisitive and problem-solving contexts.

We will finish the term with a whole-class production of one of Shakespeare’s plays. This project will give pupils a chance to develop their confidence and team work and is a wonderful way for them to finish their time at All Saints’ school.
