Welcome to Y5/6 2025

What Were You Thinking?

is our topic themed learning to take us to Christmas.

In term 1 we will be looking at creative thinkers who changed our understanding of the world, with a focus on Charles Darwin. 

In English, we will be focusing on the story of Kensuke's Kingdom and creating powerful and effective descriptions.

Rewards and Consequences

We will continue to recognise our Learning Gems and Christian Values with points and certificates - more information is available about this on the Values tab in About Us

The consequence steps have, this year, been fine tuned to be age specific. 

In Y5/6 the following consequence steps will be taken:

Welcome to Year 5 / Year 6!

Welcome to Year 5 and 6.  We are three parallel mixed age range classes: Lime (Mrs White & Mrs Arnall), Maple (Mrs Gallagher & Mrs Jones) 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 for term 1

Netball

Cherry Class - Monday

Maple Class - Thursday

Lime Class - Friday

Please can PE kits be kept in school. As the weather gets colder you may wish to send in Jogging bottoms or leggings. 

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.

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.  Information regarding a payment plan, deposit and permission has been sent to all Y6 parents, please speak to the admin team with any concerns or questions.

Extra-Curricular
