Welcome to Year 5 / 6 !
The year 6 class is led by Mat Holt and Year 5/6 class led by Duncan Sharp. Both teachers believe that years 5 and 6 are important stages of children's school life.
As well as being successful year 5 and 6 learners, it is important that the children become more independent ready for their transition to secondary school. We'll be putting a lot of effort into developing the children's resilience, respectfulness, responsibility and their ability to reflect on choices and achievements.

As the oldest children in the school, Year 6 have more responsibility and more work to do! We encourage them to be excellent role models for everyone in our school. Members of Year 6 have the opportunity to become house captains and lead their teams by example.
It is also a very important year as the year 6 children are assessed in the summer term as part of the End of Key Stage 2 Assessments (Key Stage 2 SATs). These are formal tests which are taken under test conditions.

Curriculum
In year 5 and 6, the children follow the National Curriculum. English sessions are taught through the Power of Reading approach. Children's reading and writing will develop through reading and responding to high quality texts. Children will also experience drama, poetry and art through the Power of Reading texts. Maths sessions follow the White Rose Maths teaching sequences and progressions. Mastery of maths through practical, pictorial and abstract experiences will ensure children have the deepest understanding possible.

Our foundation subjects (geography, history, science etc) are taught through the Cornerstones curriculum. This topic themed approach ensures children cover the National Curriculum through a broad range of exciting and progressive learning activities.
Children read for 30 minutes daily and their reading progress is tracked through the Accelerated Reader software. After reading a text that's suitably challenging, the children take quizzes to check their understanding of the book they've read. The software then recommends a new, suitable book for them.
