Maths
A big focus within Year 5/6 this year continues to be using and applying our Maths knowledge.
Below are links to two documents showing what children should know and be able to do in maths by the end of year 5 and 6:
Children should also practise their times tables using the TT Rockstars app.
Our Topic Work Term 1 ~
"Peasants, Princes and Pestilence"
Lock your doors and pull up the drawbridge: the dreaded "Great Pestilence" is here.
At the start of this term, we'll meet a strange character and use a range of source materials to research the symptoms of the Black Death. Our geography skills will help us understand how the Black Death came to Britain and why it spread so quickly. We'll find out about disgusting and dangerous plague cures. Our personal plague journals will record the horror of the Black Death.
We'll also learn about different social classes, understand the reasons for the Peasants' Revolt and learn what it was like to be a knight.
Art and Design
We will be creating our own plague journal.
Religious Education
IN RE this term we will be learning about Christianity.
Rights Respecting School
