Learning in Year 6
Our learning is all topic based and develops the four core purposes of the Welsh curriculum.
In Year Six we encourage pupils to be:
. Ambitious and capable learners ready to learn throughout their lives.
. Enterprising and creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work.
. Ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world.
. Healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.
We cover the curriculum through a number of topics that cover 6 areas of learning
. Expressive arts
. Health and well-being
. Humanities
. Language , literacy and communication
. Mathematics and numeracy
. Science and technology
Pupils enjoy many independent projects and tasks that encourage them to use skills learned in a cross curricular way.
