Welcome to 2025!

Is it Science or Magic?

is our new topic for terms 2 and 3. 

We will be basing our learning on Harry Potter and the magical world. Our main learning theme in term 3 is science - where we will be looking at the properties of materials and how we can change and separate them. 

Term 4 has an art and DT focus - drawing and sketching from observations and our imaginations and creating 3d textile projects. 

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

Lime Class - Monday

Maple Class - Tuesday

Cherry Class - Friday

All classes will be working with Martin on a Friday - please have PE kit in school. 

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.
