Art – Egyptian Masks
Topic Map Year 6
We will look at faces in art through a
variety of different artists and
mediums. We will use these influences
to create our own sketches and masks
of Ancient Egyptian faces.

Judaism is taught for one week every year. Each year, the
pupils learn more about how their Jewish sisters and
brothers live and what they believe as the theme develops.
The themes are the same for all religions.
Loving
Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, given by God as
a sign and expression of God’s love. Giving and
receiving reflects the truth that all life is given by God
and life is given meaning through the birth of Jesus.
Advent is a time of joyful expectation, as we prepare
to receive Jesus into our lives and to share this gift
with others at Christmas and throughout the year.
Application of maths across the curriculum:
PE- Basketball
Children will build on the basketball

History - Ancient Egypt
We will be finding out about where and when
early civilisations took place. Through enquiry we
will look at daily life, how Egyptians used first
writing systems, their famous buildings and
inventions and how the Ancient Egyptians
influence life in Britain today.

• Draw time lines including events, people and
periods previously studied.
• Be confident with chronological vocabulary
(BC/AD, decade, century and millennium.
• Make connections and comparisons between
different periods of time studied.
• Find out about beliefs, behaviour and
characteristics of people recognising that not
everyone shares the same views.
• Know key dates, characters and events times
studied.
• Be aware that different evidence will lead to
different conclusions.
• Plan and carry out individual investigations.
• Show knowledge and understanding of
everyday life in another period and describe the
characteristic features.
PSHCE-Getting on and falling out
Children will discuss and take part in circle time activities to
explore what it is like to fall out and how we can better get along.
Skills:
Developing confidence and responsibility and making the most of
their abilities.
Preparing to play an active role as citizens.
Developing good relationships and respecting the differences
between people.

Balanced and Unbalanced Arguments
We will explore a controversial issue through reading and
discussing a wide range of texts providing examples of for,
against and balanced views. Explore one or more issues through
discussion, debate and role-play, and practise the oral
presentation of both one-sided and balanced arguments. We will
write both a one-sided (persuasive) argument and a balanced
(reasoned) discussion selecting their own approach and medium
for each, to suit their purpose and audience. Write both an
effective argument for a particular case and a balanced
discussion of an issue, selecting language, form, format and
content to suit a particular audience and purpose.
Flashback
We will create our own short narrative using paragraphs to
structure and pace our ideas and a range of techniques to
indicate the passage of time. We will use different narrative
techniques to indicate the passage of time between past and
present to engage the reader.
Journalistic
We will read, explore, discuss and compare a wide range of
journalistic news reports, in a variety of formats, on paper and
on screen. Listen to and compare a number of news reports.
Experience of a wide range of news reporting and can
understand what is being communicated, why and how children
write a news report about the incident explored earlier. We will
then use this as a basis for a script which we will present orally
as a radio news item. We will write an effective news article in a
journalistic style, selecting language, form, format and content
to suit a particular audience and purpose. We can use this as the
basis for a script and present it orally in the style of a radio news
item in a way which is informative and engaging.
Mathematics
Fractions (including decimals and percentages)
Pupils should be taught to:
use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples
to express fractions in the same denomination
compare and order fractions, including fractions > 1
add and subtract fractions with different denominators and
mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions
Science
Electricity
This electrifying 'Changing Circuits' KS2 Science scheme of work for
Year 6 consolidates the children’s knowledge of circuits and how
they work and then goes on to extend their knowledge of
electricity through a variety of fun, practical and informative
activities, including looking at conventional circuit symbols and
exploring how to change the brightness of a bulb or the speed of a
motor within a circuit.
Ratio and Proportion
solve problems involving the relative sizes of two quantities
where missing values can be found by using integer multiplication
and division facts
solve problems involving the calculation of percentages [for
example, of measures, and such as 15% of 360] and the use of
percentages for comparison
solve problems involving similar shapes where the scale factor is
known or can be found
solve problems involving unequal sharing and grouping using
knowledge of fractions and multiples
Algebra
Pupils should be taught to:
use simple formulae
generate and describe linear number sequences
express missing number problems algebraically
Planning different types of scientific enquiries to answer questions,
including recognising and controlling variables where necessary.
Reporting and presenting findings from enquiries, including
conclusions, causal relationships and explanations of and degree of
trust in results, in oral and written forms such as displays and other
presentations.
Associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer with
the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit.
Compare and give reasons for variations in how components
function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers
and the on/off position of switches.
Use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a
diagram.
