Year 6 2025 - 2026
Miss Moore
Hello and welcome to our Year 6 class page! This page will provide you with the information you need about what your child is currently learning in school.
We are Miss Moore and Mrs Turley, and we will be your child’s teachers this year; we will also have key adults in class and around school to help us along on our Year 6 journey.
We are really excited about this year's curriculum and have lots of engaging and interesting units of work throughout the year. During Autumn term, we will be learning about World War II and its impact on our local area, a nice link to your Year 5 topic where you learned about the history of Ellesmere Port. We will visit Western Approaches during the Autumn term to learn more about the World War II with a hands-on workshop and museum visit.
Our two topics for Spring term are 'Who were the Maya?' and 'What's it like in South America?'. We will be building our geographical skills, such as recognising the difference between physical and human geography as well as using Google Earth to explore South American countries. We will also be enriching our curriculum with carefully planned experiences during Forest School. We are very much looking forward to exploring these topics together in a cross-curricular manner, including listening to and dancing to South American music and taking part in Maya weaving and clay mask crafts.
As we begin the Summer term, we will complete our South America topic before moving on to our final topic: 'I am special, I am me'. We will be learning about healthy relationships and exploring the exciting time that is ahead of us: transition to high school. We will focus on maintaining a positive mindset and embracing how wonderful it is to be ourselves. As part of this topic, we will take part in many exciting trips and visits, such as Cheshire Young Carers wellbeing visits, a trip to Dangerpoint in Talacre. first aid training as well as visiting Cheshire College for their Primary College day.
You can find out more about our Year 6 curriculum this year on our Curriculum Map which is attached below.

Please bring reading diaries in every day. We love learning about what you have been reading at home and love having book talk in class to discuss different authors and genres. Our class novels this year will be Letters from the Lighthouse, The Final Year, Holes and Room 13.
TTRockstars and Atom.com are also part of our weekly homework. We encourage at least 15 minutes of TTRS and Maths, spelling and grammar, and science activities will be regularly set and updated on Atom.com throughout the year.
We are really looking forward to working with your children this year and we thank you in advance for your support!
Open invitation
I am always open to discussions about how best to support and guide the children, and I welcome you to the door or to make an appointment to speak with me whenever you feel is necessary so that we can best help the wonderful children in our class.
