Years 5 and 6
Class Teacher: Mr. Philip Cameron.
Teaching Assistant: Mrs Julie Tebbutt
Welcome to Term 6!
Mrs T and myself would like you welcome you back to another fun filled term of learning before the Summer break.
This term we’re continuing with Ancient Mayan civilisation. We will be focussing particularly on Geography: where the Mayans lived, how they lived in relation to others and what were their modes/ links of transport.
We will also be carrying on with the fantastic Book- Uncle Montague’s tales of terror and using it to influence some wonderful pieces of writing.
For information about curriculum coverage and events, please see the linked PDF document.
Homework is set weekly; the children will have their weekly spellings and maths task stuck in their homework books which must come into school every Tuesday.
They will be returned to the children on Friday ready for them to learn their new spellings. Children will be tested on their learnt spellings on a Friday.
All the children have access to T.T Rock stars and should be aiming to compete as regularly as possible with the program and others online as much as possible in and out of school.
We are hugely passionate about reading and believe it supports almost every aspect of your child’s education, which is why we are setting the challenge of at least 5 reads per week (signed off by an adult in their reading record) and reading at least 5 of the ten books on the Summer Term Reading challenge. If your child does not like reading at the moment please come and talk to us and we will see what we can do to try and help. Often it’s just a case of them not having found the right book yet).
