As a school, we follow the primary National Curriculum for Key Stage 2. 

https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/national-curriculum#programmes-of-study-by-subject

Below, is a break down of the topics we cover in Year 6.

At BPSP, our ambitious, vibrant and inclusive curriculum has been developed with the intention of providing all our learners with key knowledge and skills for long-term learning and with the cultural capital to become responsible and valuable citizens in our modern society.

From Year 3 through to Year 6, we study a wide variety of subjects, making cross-curricular links where relevant (see curriculum overviews on the school website for more detail) In addition, we regularly recap and revisit previous knowledge so it can be recalled and applied to different contexts in order to deepen the learning experience for all children.

If you would like any further information regarding our curriculum, please contact the school office at office@bpsp.coastalpartnership.co.uk.

Autumn 2

English – we continue to develop our writing skills and this half term we are excited to introduce ‘A Christmas Carol’ to the children where they will be rewriting part of the narrative.

We will also be looking at Kennings style poems towards the end of the half term.    

French –.  In our weekly lesson, we learn vocabulary linked with clothing and we revise adjectives of colour and introduce patterns to describe the clothing. We then link this with previous learning about seasons and the weather.

Music – This half term will see the children preparing for our exciting Christmas Lighthouse concert. We look forward to sharing their talents with you!

DT – The children will be making vegetable soup in our DT learning this half term. This fits in beautifully with our History unit, focussing on rationing laws and the use of local produce.
