Year 6

Learning Link: 

Keep Calm and Carry On

 Our learning takes us back to the middle of the 20th Century as we explore and learn about Wartime Britain with a focus on the Battle of Britain and its significance to our world today.

It is also the final term of your child’s education at Primary School, so there will also be a focus on reflecting on these special years as well as looking forward to the future at secondary school.
