Class 4

Welcome to Years 5 & 6!

Our curriculum

We have a fun packed and interesting programme covering two years. Please have a look at Class 4's Rolling Programme and Subject Coverage Maps under the 'Curriculum' tab.

This year we will be learning...

Class 4 Long Term Plan

In the autumn term we went to Castleton on our residential trip, learnt about national parks, computing systems, space and multi-media art. In English we used an advert about the three little pigs, the books 'The Promise' and 'Cosmic' to inspire our own writing. In maths we have developed our understanding of place value, addition and subtraction, fractions and multiplication and division. In the run up to Christmas we enjoyed a visit to the pantomine and designed and sewed our own Christmas decorations!

Here are some of the exciting lessons, trips and visits we have had this year so far...

Look at our learning!

Over the Spring term we are excited to; learn about animals including humans, investigate Britain's empire and it's impact on the world, code our own games, play tag rugby, read 'Wonderling' and 'The Lizzie and Belle mysteries: drama and danger' and lots more! We also have some fantastic experiences coming up - such as our African Drumming session, Severn Trent Workshop, Bikeability training and much more. Check back here for more photos soon!

PE and forest school

Class 4 have PE every Monday and Friday, so please ensure children come in to school dressed in the appropriate kit on the correct days. The children also take part in a Forest Schools session on Tuesday afternoons.

Communication

Please use Class Dojo portfolio to share any special moments and achievements your child wishes to share. Look out for class photos of the things we have been learning too!

You can also email Mrs Horton via the school office with any questions you may have.

Supporting your child at home

Homework is set half-termly via Class Dojo, with a project for the children to complete. It gives the children the opportunity to share the interesting things they have learnt with you and develop their learning from class further. Please send completed homework projects to school on the first week after the holidays.

Please contact Mrs Horton if you need any additional resources or support with homework.

Reading

20 minutes daily with discussion around the text being the crucial element.

Spelling

Use your workbook to practice the spellings we have learnt in class. There will be a test each Friday.

Maths

10 minutes at least once per week on Times Table Rock Stars.
20 minutes of pages of your choice from 'Ready, Set, Go!'. Please bring your book in to show Mrs Horton on a Friday.
