Gateway to the World

Throughout the Spring Term, in Y6, some of our work will be centred on the theme of 'Manchester v Gateway to the world'. The children will be learning about who L.S Lowry was, and the significant art work that he produced. They will also be thinking about where food comes from and preparing dishes safely and hygienically.

During the term, we will be focussing on producing a persuasive advert in English – trying to encourage people to visit Manchester. The children will also write a non-chronological report about the Industrial Revolution. In Mathematics, the children will be working on decimals, percentages and algebra. The children will be participating in hockey and tennis in PE, as well as learning about evolution and inheritance in Science.
