Hello and welcome to our class

We are a mixed year 5 and 6 class

                   Autumn Term 2020

                     Our topic: 'It's All Greek to Me!' 
            Finding out about Ancient and Modern Greece

English:  Our English work this term will be based on our topic. We will be reading 'The Adventures of Odysseus' and comparing different versions of Greek myths.  We will continue to use the 'Talk for Writing' process this term to help pupils develop their writing skills in a range of fiction and non-fiction text types.
Maths: Number work will focus on place value and the four operations.  Reasoning & problem solving using number, shape, space and measures will be ongoing throughout the year. 
History: Ancient Greece
Geography: Greece: climate and tourism 
Science:  Living things and their habitats: classification
Computing: using technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; using the internet for communication & collaboration
RE:  Why do some people believe God exists?

Working at Home

Each week we would like our Y5/6 children to:

• Read every day 
• Practise their times tables at least 3 times each week using their personalised log-in on 'Times Tables Rockstars' - their progress is recorded every time they play, and will also be regularly tested in school​
• Practise and learn spellings (tested on Wednesdays)

Any extra homework tasks will be in the files on our class Teams page this term.
