Year 6

This term children will learn about the Maya Civilisation and The Victorian Age. Pupils will learn how the Mayan civilization grew so strong when the odds against it were so huge. They will explore the characteristics and features of the Mayan society and compare it with the state of Britain at the same time. They will be excited to learn about the Victorians because of all the new inventions and the pace of change and progress, however, they will also discover how hard it was to live if you didn’t have much money during this time.

Throughout this term, children will focus on developing their knowledge and understanding of light and electricity. They will plan and carry out many investigations in response to a given investigation question and demonstrate and describe the movement of light. Children will report and present findings from their investigations and identify variables that must be controlled to achieve a fair test.
