Year 6 Curriculum
Autumn 1 Learning Journey - 'On the Move' and 'Black and British'
Our Geography and History topics span the whole of the autumn term in Year 6, but the Learning Journey below is for the first half term.
We all live in the United Kingdom, but do we really know much about it? What will Great Britain look like in the future? During the autumn term, we will be using maps and atlases to name and locate counties and cities in the UK and around the world and linking this this to our findings about immigration, emigration and migration. This supports our English work in Autumn 1, where our text is ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’ by Onjali Rauf.
Our learning leads us to our ‘Black and British’ topic, which allows us to consolidate our understanding of the history we have learned so far at Downs as well as looking at other time periods such as post World War Two Britain. Through this study, we will learn about the history of black Britons, which stretches back millennia. We will consider issues surrounding race and changing attitudes and experiences over time. We will develop our enquiry skills as Historians, asking questions, finding clues and using tentative language to discuss the level of certainty of our findings, e.g. "We know that...", "It is likely that..." and "It is possible that...".
