Blue Class - Years 5 and 6

Our teacher is Mr Midgley and he is helped, at various times, by Mrs Johnson, Mrs Evison, Mrs Sewell and Mrs White.

English

This term in English we will be finishing off our balanced argument based on the book The Day The Ocean Went Away. Then we will deepen our setting description skills and introduce new SPAG with relative clauses beginning with a relative pronoun, passive voice and extending our modal verb understanding.

 Mathematics

This term in Mathematics we will be completing our calculation phase and moving into fractions. Practicing times tables is essential and, whilst significant progress has been made by some dedicated TT Rockstars, there is still room for making those number fluency skills concrete to bolster this vital foundation to mathematics.
