Year 6
Welcome to Year 6! Here you can find out all about what we will be learning this year. Our Year 6 team is Mrs Plant (Year group leader), Mrs Swanepoel, Mrs G Dilley and Miss Glover. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to speak to us at the end of the day, write a note in your child's planner or email us on our year group email address year6teachers@gdps.uk.
The Year 6 Curriculum
Each term our projects are carefully planned to ensure all of the objectives for Year 6 are taught in an appropriate sequence. You can find out all about the content of each subject area by visiting our Curriculum Page and selecting the subject you are interested in. Individual subjects are grouped together into common areas, for example STEM subjects such as Science, Computing and DT are under the Science and Technology tab.
Each term you can see our Curriculum Map and Knowledge Organiser to get more specific information on what your child will be learning that term. These can be found below.
