Y6C Autumn Two 2019

Religious Education
During Autumn Two, Y6C will explore the topics of Vocations and Commitment as well as prepare for Advent and Christmas. We will continue to recognise the love God has for everyone through the Building the Kingdom unit celebrating life and recognising that November is the month of the Holy Souls.

Literacy
The Literacy objectives in Autumn Two will initially be linked with the Building the Kingdom unit celebrating life. We will study a range of texts about the First World War, including fiction, non-fiction and poetry, as well as a range of primary and secondary sources from the war. These texts will help us to understand and examine the experiences of soldiers in World War One. We will be able to write formal and informal letters from the trenches, as well as a diary entry reflecting on the Christmas Day Armistice in 1914. Out unit of work will conclude with an assembly where we will read examples of our work, display our artwork depicting life in the trenches and sing, “Stille Nacht” as the soldiers in the First World War did.

Before Christmas, we will read and watch, “The Polar Express” by Chris Van Allsburg and compare stories depicted in books and films. This will help us to prepare to write our own versions of the Polar Express.

Mathematics
In Autumn Two, the objectives will continue to build on the concepts taught in Autumn One and include:
•   Identifying common factors, common multiples and prime numbers.
•   Long Division.
•   Fractions – simplify, find common multiples, compare and order, add, subtract, multiply and divide.
•   Calculate the area and perimeter of parallelograms and triangles.
•   Calculate, estimate and compare the volume of cubes and cuboids using standard units.

Science
Animals Including Humans

•   The brain and central nervous system.
•   The function of bones and muscles.
•   The heart and the respiratory system.
