Year 6
“Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of, who do the things that no one can imagine.”
Alan Turing
Year 6 Class of 2024-2025
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 2 - This is Africa!
This term, we will be learning all about the wonderful continent of Africa, including the beautiful geography, demographic and history behind some of the 54 countries contained within.
Fun Fact: Africa takes up 1/5 on the size of all land on Earth!
Our Maths learning will include learning all about fractions, ratio and scale, as well as reviewing the four major calculations that run through all maths learning.
In our English lessons, we will be using and basing our work on the beautiful texts that are "Illegal" by Eoin Colfer and Andrew Donkin. This will be taught before we study "The Arrival" by Shaun Tan. Both books present beautiful images 
that tell magical stories, enticing and engaging our children.
By writing narratives, reports, letters and more, we explore the world of writing and how to engage a reader, making them want more!
