Sycamore Class

 

Welcome to our Year 6 Class Page, we  are  hoping to have a year full of accomplishment, independence and fun too. We will have a large quantity of work  and will keep lots of the homework  and revision on this page. This is an important year we  will be giving the students more  responsibilities around the school. They will have to take on monitor jobs and be  required to take their learning more  into their own hands.

 

Our topic current topic is Blood Heart, during the topic we will be learning all about the heart. We will conduct experiments and should be performing a dissection of a pig heart. We are hoping to have a trainee doctor in to teach as a more about how things work in the hospital and the heart itself. In the topic, section below you will find a PDF download of things that you can do at home.

                     Our topic this half term is FROZEN KINGDOM. We'll  start by making and observing icebergs and research them to find out how they are formed, where do they go and how dangerous are they??  Using globes and maps, we’ll identify the polar regions, comparing the Arctic and Antarctic. We’ll also think about how we can protect the polar environment. Then, we’ll investigate the tragic story of the RMS Titanic, and find out about the people on board.  Researching our favourite polar animals will be fun, and we’ll create animal artwork inspired by the Inuit people. We’ll investigate the phenomena that are the Northern Lights and recreate amazing effects using paints and dyes.
