TERM 1 and TERM 2

 

Welcome back to Year 6 — we’re so excited to begin a brand new term and the final part of your journey at St James! These first two terms are packed with exciting learning and creative opportunities.

 

We’ll start by exploring the geography of China, looking at its landscapes, climate, and culture. Then we’ll travel back in time to study the fascinating Shang Dynasty and discover how this ancient civilisation shaped life in East Asia.

 

In Science, we’ll begin with evolution and inheritance, learning how traits are passed down and how species adapt over time. Later, we’ll move on to animals including humans, exploring body systems and how we grow and change.

 

Maths will begin with a revision of place value and the four operations to strengthen our core skills. Once we’re confident, we’ll dive into fractions and develop our problem-solving and reasoning abilities.

 

Our English lessons will be inspired by The Firework Maker’s Daughter by Philip Pullman — a magical adventure full of courage and creativity. We’ll be writing recipes, imaginative narratives, and newspaper articles, building our skills across a range of genres.

 

In Art, we’ll be exploring Chinese Sakura (cherry blossom) painting, learning traditional brush techniques and creating beautiful pieces inspired by this delicate and symbolic style.

 

We can’t wait to get started and make these terms memorable, meaningful and full of growth. Let’s make it a fantastic beginning to your final year at St James!
