Year 5/6 Classes

Our three Year 5/6 classes are called Oak, Elm and Rowan. The children are taught by Mrs Spencer, Mrs O'Sullivan, Miss Painter and Miss Alder and supported by Mrs Bushnell, Mrs Sutton and Miss Bradley.

During PPA each week, the children are taught by Mrs. Law for specialist computing lessons in which they learn about, practice and apply different I.T. skills to complement in-class learning. The children also learn about e-safety. During this time, they are also taught R.E. by Mrs Richardson.

PE is on Thursday and Friday afternoons.

They Made a Difference

This term, the children in Year 5/6 6 have been energetically engaged in their new topic, "They Made a Difference." Our explorations have centred around remarkable figures in history who have significantly altered our world for the better. The children have delved into the lives and legacies of important leaders such as Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela who each fought valiantly against discrimination and injustice. Throughout the lessons, the children have participated in rich, thought-provoking discussions about key issues related to equality and the importance of standing up for what is right. Their enthusiasm and curiosity have inspired them to create their own "Little People, Big Dreams" books, where they highlight the achievements of figures who have made a profound impact on society.

Currently Reading 

As part of our topic, the classes are currently reading the adventurous story "Race to the Frozen North," by Catherine Johnson which intertwines with the themes we've been learning. This engaging text not only promotes literacy but also encourages students to reflect on the values and struggles portrayed by the characters, echoing the unwavering spirit of those we have studied.

We are incredibly proud of the children’s progress and understanding as they learn about the importance of making a difference in the world, both past and present.
