The Year 6 Classroom
This half term, our main topic is coasts and coastal processes. We will learn about the physical features of coasts, the effects of erosion and the impact of climate change on coastal areas. Children will explore different coastal management strategies and complete a case study of the Norfolk coastline.
In Religious Education (RE) we will be focusing on the question ‘What can be done to reduce racism? Can religion help?’ We will explore what racism is and why it is unfair; discuss what we can learn from the two statues in Bristol; understand how St. Peter learnt that God has no favourites; explore the Golden rule and what we can learn from Anti-racist people from different religions. We will also be able to express our own personal vision for justice and equality.
In science we will be continuing to look at the natural world, exploring living things and their habitats. We will look at scientific classification of animals and plants develop an understanding of the branch of science known as taxonomy.
