Beech Class
Key Stage 2 - Year 6
As our children move into Beech Class they are prepared for the next step on their learning journey.
Science
Children study a wide range of topics: Animals including Humans; Evolution and Inheritance; Forces; Electricity; Light and Properties and Changes of Materials. These topics are aimed at increasing, not only the children's understanding of the world around them, but also improving their knowledge of what science is and how it works in practise.
ICT
Children are taught about blogging and computer programming.
Maths and Literacy
Maths skills taught are applied throughout the curriculum including Science and History lessons. Children are encouraged to explore the subject in depth with an emphasis on investigative work and the opportunity to apply the subject in real life situations.
In English there is a strong emphasis on teaching the requirements of the new grammar, punctuation and spelling curriculum through classics such as Shakespeare. Children develop their ability to write in both formal and informal ways; creating a balanced argument and having regular opportunities to prepare and deliver a short presentation to their classmates.
