Year 5/6
Autumn Term
Year 5/6 is led by Mrs Foster, Mrs Whitehead, Mrs Britton, and Mr Norris, and supported by Mrs Quill, Miss Hicks, Mrs Clarke and Mrs Storey.
The Autumn Term in Year 5/6 is riveting, informative, and action-packed. There is so much happening — including trips to the Westmorland County Show and our fantastic Residential Trip to Patterdale.
In English, we will explore science-fiction narratives, building skills through discussions, debates, dialogue, and character work. We will write in formats such as emails, setting descriptions, and advice letters, and create a non-chronological report, practising a range of styles including diaries, letters, and journalistic writing.
In Autumn 2, our theme is Belonging & Equality, explored through biographies, posters, diary entries, letters, and persuasive speeches. We will finish by crafting our own version narratives in various formats, including guides on caring for a lost thing.
Throughout the term, we will also expand our technical SPaG knowledge, focusing on word classes and sentence structures to enhance our writing. We will be reading a variety of texts, with a focus on retrieval skills and building reading stamina.
In Maths, we will be exploring place value, number operations, and fractions. Alongside this, we will tackle problem-solving projects and begin our very exciting transition project with The Lakes School — The Tenner Project.
Our Science topic will centre on Adaptation and Evolution. We will also study electrical circuits, culminating in the creation of a motorised electrical circuit, which will be fitted to our Grand Prix Cars. These cars will be designed and engineered during Art and Technology sessions and raced in the 2025 Windermere Grand Prix!
In Year 5/6, we work hard, and progress is always celebrated. We aim to be the best we can be — sharing our achievements, enjoying the challenges of our learning journey and valuing the friendships we build along the way.
What an Autumn Term to look forward to!
