Warhol Class Summer Term 2026

Teacher: Mrs Lavender-Mitchell

Welcome to Warhol Class

We have a lot of exciting new learning planned for the Summer Term 2026. Below is a snapshot of what Warhol Class will be exploring as we progress through our final term of primary school.

During the first half term, pupils will study the writing techniques used in Grimm Tales for Young and Old by Philip Pullman, focusing on language choices, narrative voice and storytelling techniques. In the second half of the term, they will move on to an in-depth study of Shakespeare’s classic play Romeo and Juliet, developing their understanding of character, plot, themes and dramatic language.

In mathematics, the first half term will focus on shape, including how to calculate angles in 2D shapes, as well as position and direction, recapping how to translate and rotate shapes on grids. In the second half term, pupils will deepen their understanding of mathematics through real-life applications. This will include a larger-scale project in which they will design, cost, construct projects.

In science, pupils will investigate living things and how they are classified, as well as animals, including humans. This will include learning about how the circulatory system works.

History learning will focus on the ancient civilisation of the Mayans, exploring their culture, achievements and legacy.

In geography, pupils will study trade and economic activity. This learning will link closely with Design and Technology, where the class will explore sustainability by investigating how to create a new product from textiles they already own, promoting the principles of reduce, reuse and recycle.

In art, the class will explore South and Central American art, focusing on artists from these regions and examining the styles, materials and themes they use.

Religious Education lessons will focus on one of the major world faiths: Islam.

In computing, the main focus will be 3D modelling and programming, allowing pupils to build confidence and develop essential technical skills.

Music lessons this term will give pupils the opportunity to celebrate songs, developing both performance and listening skills.

In PSHE, the class will focus on learning about money and will begin to engage more fully with their transition to Year 7.

In Spanish, pupils will learn about parallels and meridians, possessive adjectives, how to use a dictionary, the clothes we wear, and will compare Spanish with French.

PE days are Tuesday and Friday. During PE lessons this term, pupils will develop their striking and fielding skills, take part in athletics activities and further develop their orienteering skills.

This term will also provide pupils with opportunities to develop their test techniques and resilience, revise key knowledge and secure their understanding of key concepts. This will ensure they are well prepared for the challenges of Key Stage 3 and beyond.

Warhol Class will visit their respective secondary schools for transition days. Pupils will also plan, write, rehearse and perform the Year 6 Leavers’ Assembly, and make lasting memories on our whole school trip to Layer Marney Towers.
