CLASS STAFF
AUTUMN TERM
Our whole school topic this term is Let There be Peace on Earth. 
 In Year 6 the children will be exploring “What was life like for children during World War 2?’
 
Literacy, Language and Communication
We will be writing a discursive text about evacuation and a report about what life was like for children in the war .  
In our reading sessions we will be reading The Valley of Lost secrets.
 
Science and Technology
We will be looking at the Blitz and what materials were the best to make blackout curtains.  We will look at the different planes used during World War 2 and identify which ones were the most aerodynamic.  We will also be looking at Morse code and creating our own circuits to allow us to send messages to each other.
 
Expressive Arts
This term we will be participating in a cluster singing project where we will be performing some songs live on the radio in December.
 
Humanities
We will be finding out about World War 2.  How did World War 2 begin and what countries were involved?  Who were the leaders of the main countries involved in the war?   What was life like for the people of Britain living during the Blitz?  The children will be learning all about what life was like for the children evacuated from the cities and experience this for themselves when they dress up as evacuees for the day.
 
Mathematics
As well as consolidating our Maths skills, we will be doing some code breaking, using algebra and creating their own gas masks and gas mask boxes.  We will find out about the rations that people received throughout the war and work out how much food our families would receive each week.
 
Health and Well Being
As part of Black History month we will learn about some of the black soldiers who fought in World War 2 and the discrimination that they faced.
