Blue Class - Years 5 and 6

Our teacher is Mr Midgley and he is helped by Mrs Johnson and Mrs Sewell.

🌟 Welcome Back! 🌟

Welcome back to a brand-new term 🎉📚
Weare looking forward to getting back in the saddle, exploring our new topics and enjoying learning together with all of you! 😊

 

✏️ English

This term in Englishwe will be writing a newspaper report based on the beginnings of the Church of England (this ties in to our history topic!). After this, we will be creating a historical narrative, also based on The Tudors.


🔢 Mathematics

This term in Mathematics we will be diverging somewhat: the years 5 group learning to develop their multiplication and division skills further before adding to their last element of fractions, decimals and percentages knowledge whilst the year 6 group will complete their algebra topic before cementing their decimal and percentage understanding prior to SATS next term

📌 Practising times tables is essential ⏱️. While some pupils have made great progress using TT Rockstars 🎸, there is still room to strengthen number fluency to make these skills more secure and automatic.
