Term 6
Welcome back to Term 6 – we hope you and your child had a wonderful half term and they are ready for a final term of learning!
This term will be an exciting one with events such as; Sports Day, Bikeability for Year 5s, Transition Days and of course, plenty of Year 6 activities including the end-of-year production (Toy Story!) and leavers services. Please do keep an eye out for key dates on the school bulletin and we will be sure to email you about any changes, as the term progresses.
In our learning, we will continue exploring the ancient Greeks in History this term and ‘Living things and their Habitats’, in Science. We will be discussing the topic, ‘What do people believe about life?’ in our R.E. and Worldviews and ‘Health and Wellbeing’ in PSHE.
In writing this term, we will look at recounts and shifting formality in our writing. The Year 5s will also explore the ‘Watertower’ as a focus text whilst the Year 6s complete Play rehearsals. In Maths, we will continue to review content from earlier in the year that will support the children’s learning as they progress to the next year. This will cover elements such as, revision of place value, the four operations, fractions and geometry.
This term, P.E will look slightly different in that all Year 5 will have P.E on a Monday afternoon, whilst Year 6s complete Play rehearsal. All Year 5&6 children will still have P.E on a Wednesday so please can children come dressed for the various weather conditions. Please refer to the uniform policy as we expect uniforms to be in line with this and children will be told if this is not the case.
Finally, we hope to complete our Art unit on sculpting (and invite you all in for a school art gallery) before moving onto our DT learning, looking at electrical systems.
What a fun term it will be!
