In Summer Term 2, we will be reading, 'Goodnight Mister Tom' by Michelle Magorian. Set in WW2, A government official brings William Beech, a child evacuated from London, to stay with widower Tom Oakley in the rural English village of Little Weirwold. The children will be focusing on writing balanced arguments and diary entries. We will also be doing a persuasive writing unit, working towards Year 6 Ambassador roles! Our topics in Maths are: Angles, Roman Numerals and Measurement.
In Computing, we will be learning about video production. Children will be producing their own videos and editing to improve.
In History, we will be looking at Crime and Punishment and how this has changed over the last 800 years.
In P.E. this half-term we will be developing skills in Cricket and Athletics. This will build up to our sports day!
We are also fortunate to have Forest School embedded into our curriculum this year, children will learn practical, transferable skills and get to enjoy time working with others outside of the classroom.
Important information:
Spellings will be sent out on Mondays to practise at home before the test on the following Monday. Current spellings can be found online on the link to the right. Maths home learning is set on Wednesday and due back by the following Monday. We also strongly encourage the children to read at least three times a week at home and have their reading record filled in and signed at least once a week. We also encourage regular practise of times tables using Times Tables Rockstars (See link below):
Times Tables Rock Stars – Times Tables Rock Stars
Please make sure you have your PE kits in school for our sporting activities: both classes have lessons on Monday and Thursday. Please send your child to school in their kit on their PE day, and make sure all earrings are removed or covered with tape before school on these days.
We look forward to working with you and your children throughout this school year.
