The staff and pupils in Year 6 welcome you to our page. We hope you find it useful and if you have any ideas on how it could be improved, please speak to one of the Year 6 team.

Being in Year 6 means that we need to set an outstanding example to all. Our aim is to be the best we can be by working hard every day, supporting each other, and most of all, enjoying our last year at Fleetdown. It will be a challenging and busy year, but we want to make it the best year yet!

As a member of Year 6, it also means that we are working hard to build our independence and ability to learn in many different ways. We always demonstrate the key values of Fleetdown Primary Academy.

Term 6 - Lights, Camera, Action!

This term, we will be learning all about the wondrous world of the stage. From the Elizabethan age to the modern play, we explore how the world of the performance has made us laugh and cry all at the same time!

Fun Fact: Shakespeare wrote at least 37 plays in his life, that we know of – this averages out to two per year! He also wrote a lot of poetry, mostly poems called sonnets. In one year alone, 1609, he published 154 of them!

Our Maths learning will include consolidation of our key learning this year around number, place value and more!

In our English lessons, we will be using and basing our work on the beautiful text that is "Marvels" by Brian Selznick.
