Year 6
Welcome to Year 6
I would like to take this opportunity to highlight some of the fantastic activities and areas of study that our 10 and 11-year-old children enjoy.
During the year, the children explore a range of texts in English, bringing them to life and responding to them through drama, SPaG and writing sessions. The children become more skilled in all aspects of Maths, and in Science some of our topics include electricity, light, inheritance and the environment. In History, we study Victorian Britain and Britain since the 1930s, and in Geography we consider man’s impact on the environment, weather and climate and rainforests. In Computing, we use digital resources to programme, develop our project management skills and write code to create an app.
A selection of workshops bring this learning to life such as the Rainforest workshop, the Caribbean drumming session, a WW2 workshop and a first aid course where we develop our emergency assistance skills. We also visit a mosque as part of our faith studies and consider what it means to be a global citizen in PSHE.
One of the highlights of the year is our residential trip to PGL Liddington where we engage in a host of outdoor adventurous activities, tackle problem-solving challenges and develop teamwork. We end our year with a Cantata, and all of our memories from our time at South Farnham are captured in our Yearbook.
Thank you for visiting our page and I hope you enjoy seeing what an exciting time we are having.

"We think the school has done an amazing job delivering tuition under such difficult circumstances, this is an obvious testament to the huge commitment of everyone involved and probably endless hours of planning taken to do so."
Parent of South Farnham School Pupil 2021
