• Year 6 Class - Homework 2025-26

Hello everybody, I’m Mr Haslam and I would like to welcome you all to my class, Year 6. 

As well as myself, on Monday, you will have a specialist sports coach, Mr Weedall, for P.E and Mrs Lamb for PSHE. Thursdays are going to be busy. In the morning, you will have myself for PE and Maths or English, then in the afternoon, you will have Mr Stannard for music, and Madame Carter for French. And when it’s time for art/computing, I will be doing this on a Friday. Something for you all to look forward to!

As well as the usual English, maths, science history/geography and RE lessons, over the course of this year we have many exciting topics to look forward to learning about.

During the autumn term, in our geography topic, ‘A Study of the UK and South America’, you will compare the UK and South America using maps, regions, climates, and human and physical features of places like North-West England, Bogotá, and New York.

Then, in history in the Spring term, you will be studying ‘A Story of Migration to Britain’.

During this topic, you will be visiting the People’s History Museum in Manchester.

Summer One, will see you switch back to geography, where in studying ‘Trade, Economics and the Americas’, you will be focusing on understanding trade, settlement, and economic geography through the use of population data, maps, and case studies. You will also explore how land use, population density, and geographical features influence trade in the UK and the Americas, culminating in a comparative study of trade in New York and Colombia. In addition to this, you will also enjoy a ‘Global Trade Experience Day’ in school.

The final half term (Summer Two) will also be very exciting! Not only will you be visiting Tatton Park in Knutsford, whilst carrying out ‘A Local History Study of Lower Peover and Knutsford’, you will also prepare for your end-of-year production and enjoy a leavers’ service at Chester Cathedral.

I look forward to seeing you all in September!
