Year 6

 Welcome to your final year at Saltdean Primary. Together, we will make it your  best year yet! Here are just some of the exciting things that you have to look forward to:

This term, our topic continues to be Britain at War. We will be learning about Britain's role during World War 1 and 2, how the brave soldiers of the RAF protected cities during the blitz and what life was like for children in Britain and Germany during the war.

This is one the our favorite topics to teach and we love hearing about stories of your relatives or family friends who were alive during the war. Mrs Kington's Grandad was a soldier in WW2 and her Nan worked in a factory, making spare parts for military vehicles. If you have any stories or photos to share, it would be wonderful to share them with the year group!

If you want to find out more, here are some websites to get you started:
