Year 6 2023 - 2024
Mrs McDermott
Welcome to the Year 6 home page!
Year 6 will be learning about the Mayas in order to gain an understanding of ancient civilisations and their history. They will be able to recognise when these civilisations occurred, how artefacts and remaining settlements provide us with evidence of their time in history and how they were defeated and conquered. Throughout the topic, the children will explore Central America and the different biomes that are part of this continent (with a focus on rainforests). The children will also make comparisons between how the Maya, and British life differed.
Make sure you keep an eye on the newsletter as I will be posting important information and updates and sharing photos of our activities from the week.
If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact me on Class6@deanvalley.cheshire.sch.uk or as always my door is always open for anyone who wants to chat face to face.
