Year 6
Curriculum Overview Autumn: What will we be learning?
Autumn Term
Welcome to Year 6, your last year of Primary school!
This year is going to be full of lots of hard work, perseverance and FUN! I am thrilled to be with you on the last part of your Primary school journey.
Upcoming trip:
To support our learning in history, we will visit the Cheshire Military Museum in Chester on 14th October. We will take part in lots of activities, including analysing archives, practicing procedures for air raids and visiting a purpose build trench.
PE
PE will take place on a Friday with our sports coach Mr Aspinall. The year will consist of games activities, health and fitness activities, dance and gymnastics. Children will come in wearing their PE kits on a Friday.
Homework
Children should read at least 3 times per week. On a Tuesday, maths, grammar or reading comprehension homework will be given out. This should be handed in on the following Monday at the latest. Reading diaries should be written in each time you have read and signed by an adult. These will be collected and checked on a Friday morning. Finally, spellings plus the activity should be completed each week. We will have a spelling test on a Thursday afternoon which will test the spellings of the previous week.
Topic homework will continue as normal, once per half term, although around SATS time we will take a break from this due to revision.
Homework club will run on a Tuesday lunchtime for those of you who have any questions or need additional time to complete your tasks. This will give you a head start on homework each week and will get you into a good routine ready for high school.
As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Assessment
In Year 6, we take the SATs tests in May. This year, they will be taken between Monday 11th - Thursday 14th May 2026.
We will do plenty of work in school to prepare you for these tests, but it is important that you engage fully with your homework at home to support your learning. Closer to the time, we will have extra-curricular SATs booster sessions for any of you who would like a little bit more help.
