Year 6
Year 6 News & Dates
In our final half term, we will study the History of Britain since WWII and look closely at the Windrush Generation. We'll write biographies and a creepy story too. We'll look at collage in art and programming in computing. As well as this, it's our final term, so we'll visit our high schools for a day (or more!) and face the teachers in a traditional rounders match!
See below for dates we have fixed so far... more to be added soon!
