Y6 Curriculum Overview

Welcome to our Year 6 curriculum page. We believe that children have a right to expect a curriculum which is fun, motivating, interesting and most importantly purposeful.

We think Acre Heads Primary brings something special to every child that walks through our doors – we offer an exciting curriculum experience to all our children. Our school ethos is built on our core values: BELIEF, DETERMINATION, RESILIENCE and TEAMWORK and enables children to achieve extraordinary things.

On this page, you will find further information about our Year 6 curriculum, useful videos, links and resources for starting Year 6 with insights into the activities and learning environments within the year group.

Contact your child’s class:

What do we do in Year 6?

Please find below your child’s Year 6 Curriculum Overview which gives an outline of the topics your child will cover in Year 6.

Please find below your child’s termly Knowledge Organisers which contains a summary of the knowledge and key facts Year 6 children will be learning during the year. Children will bring a copy of the organiser home at the start of each term and are encouraged to refer to these organisers throughout their learning.

Year 6 investigated how we are able to see. We investigated using mirrors and torches how light is reflected of surfaces and then travels to our eyes. We then drew diagrams to represent this. 💡🔦👁️

Year 6 created miniature freshwater ponds using air-dry clay. They experimented with their hands and a range of tools to create different textures and effects, carefully shaping the pond base, rocks and smaller features. They added details such as frogs, lily pads and ducks, taking inspiration from animals and plants found in freshwater habitats. 🐸🌿💧
