The 'Summer' term!

Where are they now?

is our new topic for term 5 where we will be time-travelling back to the Ancient Maya and investigating their practices and beliefs. 

In English, we will be focusing on poetry and short writing challenges. Tennis is the sport in PE this term and in French we will be learning to order food in a cafe. Please see the curriculum page for more planned coverage this term.

In term 6, Y6 will be heading off to Mill on the Bru for their residential visit. Please speak to the office staff, or your child's teacher if you need support with payments or have any other questions.

Term 5 is the time for our Y6s to sit their SATs. Information will be sent to parents as we near the date. The timetable is shown below, please speak to you class teacher if you have any concerns. 

Welcome to Year 5 / Year 6!

Welcome to Year 5 and 6.  We are three parallel mixed age range classes: Lime (Mrs White & Mrs Durkin), Maple (Mrs Gallagher) and Cherry (Mrs Palmer & Mrs Crutchley).  We work both in separate classes, in phases and as a whole team preparing the children for the next stage of learning.

PE

Cherry Class - Monday

Maple Class - Tuesday

Lime Class - Friday

Please can children come to school dressed in their PE kits - please ensure children are dressed appropriately and are warm!

Homework

All children are expected to: read at home four times per week - Reading books and reading records should be brought to school every day and are checked on Wednesday

Topic homework serves to reinforce previous learning or as research for new information. This homework will be set and handed in on Thursdays.

As we move into terms 3 and 4, year 6 children will have additional homework based around SATS preparation. 

We also encourage children to use TTRockstars, or another method, to continually rehearse their Times Tables. 

Residential

Every July Year 6 children have the opportunity to take part in a week long residential trip to Mill on the Brue, Bruton, Somerset. Year 6 Camp is always a fantastic week where the children are challenged to experience and embrace a wide range of outdoor pursuits. 

Trips

During most real projects we organise curriculum related school trips. Recent outings have included: Warner Brothers Studios (home of Harry Potter); We the Curious, the STEAM Museum in Swindon; the Lifeskills Centre in Bristol; A cultural walk around Clifton Village

Extra-Curricular

Year 5/6 children from Crockerne have the opportunity to engage in a wide range of activities outside the classroom. From singing and dancing to sports and the arts we encourage all our pupils to find something they enjoy and excel in.
