Year 6
Hello!
Welcome to Term 6
'A moment in time'
In this topic we will be learning about the key reasons leading to World War II and how this has impacted the world, including identifying changes, throughout the decades. This links with our class text – Goodnight Mister Tom – where we will discover how World War II impacted lives.
In science, children will consolidate their learning with a fun 'science day' most Fridays.
In art children will focus on sculptures, statues and memorials across the world. Children will learn how to create shade and depth in sketching to recreate a drawing of their chosen sculpture. Children will use their knowledge of sculpture to design and create their own based on their time at Barton.
