This is our Year 5/6 class for 10-11 year olds – Oak Class are brilliant! At the end of Year 6, children take their national SATs in May each year and we are always proud of how hard the children work – we believe that trying their absolute best is all that we can ask and we celebrate progress in every child. In Oak Class we believe that enriching the children’s learning with as much topic work as possible allows our pupils to enjoy their school experience without constant pressure of tests – when the children are expected to take their tests, the majority of children cheer, ‘Yay!’
Our topic for the whole term is Evolution. To this end, please send any photographs of family members like parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins for a fun activity about which characteristics have been inherited (such as eye colour or tongue rolling) and which are non-inherited (like a scar from an accident). Please Dojo any photos in the chat function or we can photocopy them here if you prefer.
In Science, we will be looking at natural selection, learning about Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution.
PE is Cricket on Mondays and Rounders on Thursdays this half term.
