Blue Class' teacher is Ms Saxon
🌟 Autumn Term 1 🌟
Welcome back! We hope you have all had a lovely summer break and enjoyed some well-deserved time together. We are so excited to welcome the children back to Blue Class and begin our next adventure together. We have lots of exciting learning planned for the term ahead!
English
In English, we will be exploring a range of writing styles, including narrative, recounts and persuasive letters. The children will develop their vocabulary, sentence structure and organisation, while learning how to write effectively for different purposes and audiences.
Mathematics
In Mathematics, we will begin by developing our understanding of place value, working with numbers up to 1,000,000 and, for our Year 6 children, 10,000,000. We will then focus on the four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, developing accuracy, fluency and confidence when solving problems.
History
Our history topic this term is ‘What can the census tell us about local areas?’ The children will investigate census records to find out about people and communities from the past. We will explore what life was like for Victorian families, particularly working children, and look at how local areas changed over time. The children will use the census alongside other historical sources to investigate the past and will even begin to plan their own local history enquiry.
Science
In Science, our topic is Living Things: Life Cycles and Reproduction. The children will explore the different stages of life cycles in plants, mammals, birds, amphibians and insects. We will compare the ways different living things grow and reproduce and investigate how plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
Reading
Our new school planners will continue to be checked daily. We ask that children read at home at least three times a week and record this in their planner. Regular reading at home is incredibly important for developing fluency, vocabulary, comprehension and confidence. Thank you for your continued support with this.
Physical Education (P.E)
Please note that our P.E. days have changed. P.E. is now on Wednesday and Thursday. Please ensure your child comes to school with the appropriate P.E. kit on both days and that all items are clearly labelled.

We are really looking forward to a fantastic term ahead and can't wait to see the children settle back into Blue Class and begin this next chapter of their learning. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
