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 this half term continues to be about Evolution with the scientific side of things focusing on humans developing to old age and the impact of diet and exercise on lifestyle.
Important dates specifically for Oak Class this half term are as follows:
- Year 6 begin part two of their swimming on Monday 9th June – we will send a separate letter.
- Also on Monday 9th June is a two-part meeting at 3pm beginning with an opportunity to share with parents only the content and format of the Relationships and Sex Eduation sessions for this half term; it is always really empowering for teachers and parents to know what will be covered in these sessions so please attend if you can – Mrs Sismey has kindly offered to entertain your children in Beech classroom for the duration of this part of the meeting.
- The second part of the meeting is about the residential to Hilltop on 25th-27th The children can join us for this as they’ll find out what activities they’ll be doing, the menu we’ve been given and about the kit list.
