Topics

Our Year 6 curriculum is rich in variety and full of opportunities for discovery and creativity. We begin with a powerful World War topic, which includes a visit to the Stockport air-raid shelters to bring history to life. In art, we explore the bold and colourful work of Yayoi Kusama and delve into Street Art as a form of expression. In design technology, we use coding to programme micro:bits to create an alarm system for the school bus – blending computing, electronics and design in a purposeful way.

Trips

The highlight of our Year 6 experience is the Robinwood residential, where children enjoy adventurous outdoor activities, build teamwork skills and create lasting memories in a fun and supportive environment.

Top Tips

English: READ! It will help your grammar, writing and comprehension.
Maths: Learn your tables, number bonds and corresponding number facts.
