Hello and welcome to our class

We are a mixed year 5 and 6 class

                   Spring Term 2021

                     Our topic: 'Magic and Mystery' 

*During the latest national lockdown, children working from home will also be working on this curriculum. ​
         
English:  Our English work this term will be based on our topic; we will be using two class novels: 'The Nowhere Emporium' and 'Beowulf'.  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 multiplication, division, decimals, percentages and fractions.  Reasoning & problem solving using number, shape, space and measures will be ongoing throughout the year. 
Science: Properties and changes of materials; Forces
History: Anglo-Saxons

Computing: Use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect & correct errors in algorithms.

​

Working at Home*
*During the current national lockdown, we will not be expecting the children learning at home to complete any homework tasks.  
All learning tasks and details for our daily Teams meetings can be found on our Y5/6 Teams page.


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.
