Welcome to Year 5 and 6 - 2024-25

A warm welcome to the year 5 and 6 page. Prepare to enter our wonderful world where anything and everything is possible and the sky really is the limit!

We are excitedly looking forward to the beginning of the Spring term when our children will continnue to develop their independent learning skills and progress towards the next step in their learning journey. During the Spring term, we will immerse ourselves in the fascinating world of Titanic and Edwardian Britain. We will use the novel 'Kaspar - Prince of Cats' by Michael Morpurgo as a stimulus for many exciting writing tasks. Also in literacy, the children will be developing their non-fiction writing skills, especially persuasive writing and balanced arguments.

In history and geography, year 5 and 6 will conduct an in-depth study into the sinking of Titanic, its route using maps skills, the reasons for the sinking and who was to blame, and various experiences of the passengers. And, much more! Science lessons will see the children finding out about Forces and the many ways that forces affect our everyday lives.

During the Spring term, we will continue to develop the children's learning behaviours so that they can get the most out of every day at school. We will be embedding the School's Core Values: Be Kind, Be Courageous and be Respectful, as well as nurturing a love of learning and building our school learning behaviours of: Resourcefulness, Resilience, Reflectiveness, Reciprocity and Responsibility.

Let our journey continue!
