Maths:
Algebra: • • • •
Use simple formulae Generate and describe linear number sequences Express missing number problems algebraically Find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with two unknowns • Enumerate possibilities of combinations of two variables Measurement: • Solve problems involving the calculation and conversion of units of measure, using decimal notation up to three decimal places where appropriate • Use, read, write and covert between standard units, converting measurements of length, mass, volume and time from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit and vice versa, using decimal notation to up to three decimal places • Convert between miles and kilometres • Use, read, write and convert between standard units, converting measurements of time from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit and vice versa • Recognise that shapes with the same areas can have different perimeters and vice versa • Recognise when it is possible to use formulae for area and volume of shapes • Calculate the area of parallelograms and triangles • Calculate, estimate and compare volume of cubes and cuboids using standard units, including cubic centimetres and cubic metres, and extending to other units
English: In English, we will be exploring survival stories and writing a narrative and adventure story about a real-life survivor (Shakleton). We will Find our own way across the frozen heart of Antarctica with the help of our guide, Sir Ernest Shackleton, where we will design our own epic adventure and write diaries and letters.
Year 6 Spring 2: ‘Survival ’ Science: In Science, we will be looking at Evolution and Inheritance We will look at how to -recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago -recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents - identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution. We will look at famous scientists and their contributions to the world - Charles Darwin 1809-1882
Geography: In Geography, we will be locating the world’s cold climate countries. We will use maps to focus on their environmental regions, key physical and human characteristics, countries, and major cities , identifying the position and significance of latitude, longitude, Equator, Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, Arctic and Antarctic Circle, the Prime/Greenwich Meridian and time zones (including day and night.
