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!’
Welcome back to the new school year in Oak Class! The weather is still hot and I for one am very much looking forward to the cooler weather now! We have an action-packed term ahead of us including…
Science – Forces all around us! We will be looking at the forces that surround us from gravity to water resistance to friction and air resistance.
Humanities – In Geography, we will be studying all about Africa, locating countries, key geographical features and the climate changes across the continent. For the history aspect, we will be studying the Atlantic Slave trade. We will be focussed on the human impact, what it meant for each point of the slave trade triangle and finding all about the Underground Railroad and the abolition of the slave trade.
Art and DT – Will have an African focus, using African artist Edward Said Tingatinga and sculpture as inspiration for our work.
Music – World music and African drumming.
PE will be on Tuesdays and Fridays.
