Welcome to our Autumn Class Page
This page will show you all of the fantastic work we have been up to this half term as well provide you with any useful information you may need.
We hope you enjoying seeing what we have been up to.
PE: This will take place every Monday (Karate) and Thursday (Cricket) this half term. Please ensure your child comes to school in an appropriate PE kit on these days.
Our learning this half term will all be focused around our topic 'Sow, Grow, Farm.' This is a Geography unit in which we will learn all about land use, the different types of farming and topography (the physical features of the land).
Let's grow! A crispy carrot, a luscious lettuce or a tasty tomato. Dig deep and put your back into it! Discover how land is used in agricultural regions across the world.
Learn about where crops are grown and why farming is so important. Discover where the food we grow comes from and explore why environmental areas are so important.
Reading and Writing- The book we are studying this half term is The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. We are enjoying studying such a classic story and find it fascinating that this book seems to be timelessly enjoyed. We can't wait to see how the secret garden is unveiled.
This story should inspire us to write our own setting descriptions and we are going to develop our understanding of figurative language and how we can use this effectively to set the scene.
Maths- We will be exploring place value and addition and subtracting. Times tables are particularly important and are the fundamental basis for all areas of mathematical understanding. Children in Years 5 and 6 should know ALL of their times tables and be particularly confident when recalling their 6,7,8 and 9's.
I would recommend that children practise their times tables, reading and spelling on Purple mash, Spelling Shed, Times Table Rockstars and Oxford Owl regularly to support them in their learning.
Science- Our Science topic is all about the reproduction of plants. We are excited to learn more about the parts of a plant after lots of discussion during our first Science lesson. We have already begun to explore how flowers 'self-seed' and are intrigued to learn about the difference between sexual and asexual reproduction.
