Welcome to Class 6

Welcome to the Class 6 page.

This term, students will study World War II as a global conflict, placing key causes—such as the Treaty of Versailles, the rise of Hitler, and the invasion of Poland—onto a timeline (History Skill: Chronological Understanding). They will use maps to identify Allied and Axis nations and trace how the war spread across Europe and the Pacific (Geography Skill: Map Reading), before examining the Blitz, Home Front contributions, and soldiers' experiences by analysing photos, letters, and propaganda posters (History Skill: Primary Source Analysis & Historical Evidence). Finally, pupils will investigate the events leading to the 1945 surrender (History Skill: Historical Cause, Effect & Legacy).

In English we will use a class text as the Our maths topics will cover place value and the four formal operations this term as well as starting to improve our arithmetic skills.

Our science topic this half term will be living things and their habitats where we focus on grouping and classifying animals based on their characteristics and learn more about microorganisms.
