Welcome to Class 4

Hello! We are Mrs Parker and Mrs Molyneux and we are the Class 4 teachers. Mrs Parker works on a Monday, Tuesday and alternate Wednesdays and Mrs Molyneux works on alternate Wednesdays, Thursday and Friday. We are very lucky to have Mrs Marsden, Mrs Macauley and Miss Fryer as our fabulous teaching assistants 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 the Summer term, we will be reading 'Finding Winnie'. In 1914, Harry Colebourn, a veterinarian on his way to tend horses in World War I, followed his heart and rescued a baby bear. He named her Winnie, after his hometown of Winnipeg, and he took the bear to war. Harry Colebourn's real-life great-granddaughter tells the true story of a remarkable friendship and an even more remarkable journey--from the fields of Canada to a convoy across the ocean to an army base in England... And finally to the London Zoo, where Winnie made another new friend: a real boy named Christopher Robin. Before Winnie-the-Pooh, there was a real bear named Winnie. And she was a girl!

Maths

During Summer term, we will be exploring quadrants, coordinates, circles and shape. 

As always, we will be focusing on the children securing key fluency skills before challenging themselves with problem solving and reasoning challenges.

Science

In Science, we will be finishing our topic on evolution and adaptation. We will also be starting our new topic of circulatory system. Children will be able to identify and name the main parts of the human circulatory system, and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood; recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function and describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported within animals, including humans.

Wider Curriculum

In Geography, we will be learning about Our Planet, Our Future.

In R.E., How is the Muslim faith expressed through family life?
