Our Planet & Beyond

How has our understanding of space changed?

We will be learning all about space and space exploration through our science, history, geography and art & design lessons. 

Please see the downloads section to download our topic mind map and the knowledge organiser for this term. 

 

English: This term, we will be writing a set of instructions, inspired by our space topic. We will also be writing biographies of the women in NASA, inspired by the book 'Hidden Figures'.

Guided Reading: This term, we will be reading 'Odd and the Frost Giants' by Neil Gaiman. We will be working on our prediction, retrievel and inference skills.

Maths: Year 5 will be continuing their learning on multiplication and division before moving onto word problems, graphs and fractions. Year 6 will continue their learning on fractions and then we will look at percentages and decimals.

Science: In Science, we will be studying 'Earth and Space'. We will also learn about the topic of 'Light'.

We are very lucky to have the following staff to support and help the children in their learning:

Mrs Fields: Class Teacher. 

Mrs Stephenson, Mrs Shaw, Mrs Lycett, Miss Cank: We have a fantastic team of Teaching Assistants to support the children in their learning.

Homework Explained!

Weekly Spellings:

10 spellings will be given out on a Friday. These will be due in on the following Friday, ready for a spelling test in their group. 

Maths Homework:

This will also be handed out on a Friday and expected in on the following Friday. This might be a worksheet type activity or problem-solving question related to maths work they have been undertaking in class.  In addition, the children in Y5/6 class are expected to be regularly logging onto Mathletics and ideally achieving 10 gold bars (new activities) and / or 1,000 points per week – this equates to roughly 30 minutes work.

Homework Club:

We know how busy home life can often be and how hard it is to squeeze time into complete homework each week. We will run a weekly lunchtime homework club on a Thursday for Year 5/6 children who need extra time and/or support in completing their homework. This will run from 12.45 - 1.15pm.

Reading:

Your child has an individual reading journal. Please can we encourage as much reading at home as possible and a comment written from you when you can. Thank you.
