Year 6 Topics:

All of our year 6 topics relate to the theme of journeys.

• Vicious Vikings – Why did the Vikings come to the United Kingdom? What did they do when they got here? What was it like for the people already living in England/Ireland when the Vikings arrived? Are there still Vikings today? All these questions and more will be answered during this topic.
• Celebrating Christmas - In this topic, we will explore how Christmas celebrations have evolved over time, and how they vary across the world.
• Eat Up, Feet Up - In this topic we explore the importance of rest and fuel for our bodies. We also explore what happens to food inside our bodies.
• Healthy Cities - During this topic, we will explore how our local environment can impact our health and wellbeing, and how we can be involved in making our area a healthier place.
• Rivers and Brdge - During this topic we will think about how rivers are formed, where rivers are found, the main features of rivers and how rivers are used. We will also be creating some landscape paintings including rivers. We will be thinking about why and how people build bridges. What are they made out of? What is the best type of bridge? How do we decide exactly where a bridge should go? What is the benefit of having a bridge near you? We will also thinking about other sorts of bridge - bridges of friendship, bridges of peace and bridges of kindness.
