2024 - 25 Year 6 Learning

2024-2025  Year 6 Learning

Term 1 - Our Island's Coasts

Term 1

The children are going to love our topic of COASTS this term. 

We will be learning about coastal management and designed our own sea defences by using our knowledge of how coastlines are transformed by the natural processes such as erosion and deposition.   In Science, the children will piece together evidence from pre-historic fossils and follow Charles Darwin's voyage of discovery on the Beagle. Each class will learn about Mary Anning and the fossil discoveries that she made along the Lyme Regis - Charmouth coast. We have a fantastic day in Charmouth planned, fossil hunting with expert Ed Drewitt.  Children will hunt for ammonites, belemnites and learn about how they are made.  

Our author focus for term 1 one will be Benjamin Zephaniah when we look at his poems for Black History Month.
