Year 6BC
Hello and welcome to Year 6BC!
We are very excited to be teaching your children this term; as the children are in their final year at Unity, we will be preparing them for their SATs, as well as life at secondary school.
Please don’t hesitate to speak to any of the Year 6 team if you have any concerns.

This Spring term our History topic will be Benin. This is such an exciting and interesting topic which we’re sure the children will love learning about. We’ll learn all about how fascinating this African civilisation was their religion, rulers, downfall and their impact on the wider world. In Geography, we will be learning about time and development. This unit will focus on time zones, hemispheres and allow pupils to practice recording data in a variety of ways.
In our Writing we will be exploring suspense stories through the short film Alma. Children will be tasked with writing a terrifying story from a range of perspectives. Additionally, we will also be creating narratives around our class text, Saffiyah’s War. We will focus on using a range of punctuation such as relative clauses, colons, semi-colons, dashes and inverted commas. To support pupils with this, please continue to read with them at home, so that they can explore the rich variety of vocabulary and punctuation found in novels.
In Maths for this term, we’ll look at decimals, statistics and geometry. We will continue revising for SATs looking at everything we have learnt so far this year. We will also focus on being able to reason worded problems around our mathematical knowledge. This is important as there are two reasoning SATs papers.
Please continue to read everyday with your child and talk to them about their learning – it really helps them feel confident in class!
If you have any questions, please contact a member of the Year 6 team and we will be happy to help you. We look forward to a fantastic term full of hard work!
