Welcome Back

This Term’s Learning Overview – Year 5/6

This term, we will be exploring the key question:
“How did the Anglo-Saxons impact Britain?”

In History, we’ll delve into the Anglo-Saxon migration, examining their society, culture, and way of life. The children will investigate a range of artefacts and use historical evidence to draw conclusions about who may have been buried at a famous Anglo-Saxon site.

Our History with Art topic will also link to our English lessons. Children will enjoy researching, planning, and writing a non-chronological report based on what they learn.

PE will take place on Tuesdays, and swimming will be on Wednesday mornings.

By Years 5 and 6, children are expected to know all of their times tables and be able to read fluently. Weekly spellings will be given out, and we ask for your continued support in helping your child practise these key skills at home.
