Year 6

Welcome to Year 6

Here you will find all the information you need to know about the goings-on in Year 6.

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to the new term ahead.

Our topic this term is called 'The Greek Legacy' in which we will discover what life was like during Ancient Greece. Our learning will include:

  • Identifying where in the world Greece is and its physical geography.
  • Understanding when the Ancient Greek civilisation was in relation to other significant events and eras.
  • Discovering who the Greek Gods were and why they were significant to the Greek people.
  • Discovering what life would have been like in different regions of Ancient Greece e.g. Sparta and Athens.

Within our topic, we will also spend time developing our clay skills to create replica Greek pots. 

Throughout our topic, we will be considering the following key questions and using our research and knowledge to answer them at the end of the term:

  • Understanding what it was like to be a Greek living during these times.
  • Identifying what power meant to the Ancient Greek civilisation.
  • Discovering how the Ancient Greeks have influenced modern day Britain.
