In science, pupils will be exploring materials. We will be leaning that changes can be reversible or irreversible and will know how to group everyday materials based upon properties including their hardness, solubility, transparency, conductivity (electrical and thermal), and response to magnets. We will also be investigating when some materials are mixed, they can be separated by sieving, filtering, evaporating or by magnetic properties. These changes are reversible.

Year 5&6 teacher
Welcome to Class 4
Hello! We are Mrs Kent and Mrs Taig Wilkie and we are the Class 4 teachers. Mrs Taig Wilkie works on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon and Mrs Kent works on Wednesday morning, Thursday and Friday. We are very lucky to have Mrs Yarker as our fabulous teaching assistant to support our children with their learning. On this page we will share with you what we will be learning, exploring and all of the fun we have in Years 5 and 6.
English
During this Autumn Term, we will be focussing our writing based on the book 'Queen of the Falls' by Chris Van Allsburg.
Sixty-two year old widow Annie Taylor runs a charm school, right by Niagara Falls. When this starts to fail, she resolves to find fame and fortune by being the first person ever to go over the thundering waters of Niagara Falls in a barrel.
Maths
During the Autumn term in Year 5/6 maths, pupils will be focusing on reading, writing, ordering and comparing numbers and determining the value of each digit, rounding any whole number (integer) to a required degree of accuracy, using negative numbers in context, and calculating intervals across 0 and using all their learning to solve number problems and practical problems. In practical maths lessons we will be describing positions on the full coordinate grid (all 4 quadrants) and drawing and translating simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflecting them in the axes.
Science
Wider Curriculum
In Geography, we will be learning about the North and South America.
In PSHE, we will be learning about being families and friendships.
In R.E, we will be learning about Islam- Why are the Five Pillars important to Muslims for their daily lives?
In Computing, we will be learning about Systems and Searching
In Art, we will be learning about 2D drawing to 3D making.
In P.E, Please have your PE kits on a Wednesday AND Friday!
