YEAR

5&6

TEACHER

Mrs Frost

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!’

Wow! Summer 2 already – the year really has flown by! Such a busy term with lots of exciting activities and, for our Year 6’s, new adventures exploring their new schools! Here’s hoping the weather stays nice for us (but not too hot 😊).

 

Science – Earth, Sun and Moon

Humanities – We will be continuing with our topic on the Maya Civilisation as well as studying volcanoes!

Computing – 3D modelling – designing a Maya inspired temple!

R.E. – What is the best way for a Christian to show commitment to God?

Art and DT – For art we will be inspired by the work from our topic on Ancient Maya and Mexican artists.

P.S.H.E. – Changing me.

PE will be on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Reading Raffle continues with tickets available every week. If your child forgets to bring their reading record home for you to sign or you have been unable to sign it, please message me via Dojo on a Friday to let me know they have read.

We will be reading: The Gods of Maya!
