Year 5/6 Spring one 2026

For Spring half term two, we have a Geography-based topic: NASA

   This is a very exciting topic looking at maps, cartographers, NASA and the work of Katherine Johnson and her influence.

English: This half term, we will be reading the text 'The Darkest Dark' by Chris Hadfield and writing a formal biography about him.

Maths: We will be continuing our work on multiplication and division, as well as consolidating our arithmetic skills.

Reading: In our reading lessons, we will be predicting, inferring and retreiving information from a variety of different texts to help us develop these important skills.

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

Mrs Doyle: Class Teacher (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (AM), Thursday and Friday) 

Mrs K and Miss Hutchings: Mrs K will be working with the children on a Wednesday afternoon. We are extremely lucky to have a fantastic team of Teaching Assistants to support the children in their learning.

Homework Explained!

Weekly Spellings:

Your child will receive their spelling homework on a Friday. The spelling rule will then be taught each day to help embed this into their writing. Please can all children practise their weekly spellings, in time for their spelling test the following Friday. 

Maths Homework:

The children in Y5/6 class are expected to be regularly logging onto TTRS. As the year 6 children prepare for SATS, they can complete pages from their CGP books which they can return to school to be marked.

Reading:

Your child has a school reading book and 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. 

Timestables:

Your child will be given a login for Times Tables Rock stars, an exciting online tool to help them to learn times tables. Your child will have a weekly times tables test on a Friday, and we thank you in advance for your support in helping them to prepare for this. 

Dojo homework:

This can be found on the homework tab at the top of this page and on ClassDojo. While this is not compulsary, it's a great way to learn more about our topic and earn Dojo points to convert in our shop at the end of term. At the end of spring one, Mrs Doyle spoke to the children about their homework and anything they would like to do additionally. We considered book reviews and working as a team to acheive as many Dojo points as possible as a class. Please check our Dojo page regularly for updates regarding homework.
