This Spring term, our Year 5/6 pupils will embark on an exciting learning journey across all subjects.

In Guided Reading, they will explore Survivors: Extraordinary Tales From Wild and Beyond by David Long, focusing on developing a range of comprehension questioning skills to deepen their understanding and engagement with the text.

In English, students will delve into Holes by Louis Sachar, where they will practice writing to inform by creating newspaper articles to inform those in Texas about the events at Camp Green Lake, and writing to persuade by composing persuasive letters requesting changes at Camp Green Lake, enhancing their ability to argue effectively and respectfully.

In Mathematics, the curriculum will cover percentages, ratio and proportion, and algebra, providing a strong foundation in key mathematical concepts. To support your child’s learning at home, you can use simple times tables quizzes or online games. Practicing times tables regularly will significantly enhance their Maths work. Please speak to your child’s class teacher if you need additional support.

We encourage parents to continue checking in with us throughout the term and to regularly visit ClassDojo for important updates. Your involvement is key to your child’s success, and we are here to support you every step of the way. We are excited to support our students as they develop their reading, writing, and mathematical skills through engaging and meaningful activities this Spring term!
