In Year 6 we cover a range of challenging and creative topics, including Shakespearean Suspense, War and Conflict, The Magical Mystery Tour, Wild and Wonderful and finally, Lights, Camera, Action! STEM activities are embedded in our curriculum in Year 6, where we carry out a range of woodwork projects including: catapults and levers, electric time travel buggies (pulleys and motors) and moving fairground rides. We also do lots of work using more advanced ICT programmes such as Prezi presentation software, Garageband for music projects, iMovie for literacy work and VEX robotics for programming. We will take part in a range of art, dance, drama and music activities to support and enhance the rest of the curriculum. We have afternoon sports every Wednesday, which includes coaching and sports tuition from expert coaches in a range of disciplines including: rugby, cricket, football, hockey and netball. Please see the curriculum section on this page for a more detailed overview of the work covered in Year 6.
We try visit lots of places to enhance the curriculum, including visits to the Imperial War Museum in Manchester; the Buddhist Temple near Ulverston; a magical mystery tour of Liverpool (including a ferry across the Mersey, visits and workshops at the Museum of Liverpool and the Beatles Story Museum, in addition to a stop at the Cavern Club, ending with dinner at the Smugglers Cove on the Albert Dock); an outdoor day (either as part of a transition day usually walking up Ingleborough or becoming rangers for the day and navigating the Malham landscape trail), finished off with our fantastic 3 day residential trip to London.
