This year we are getting involved in lots of different engaging and exciting learning opportunities: from The Victorians and the Mayans to Electricity and Inky Still Life, we've got it covered!

As always in UKS2 there is a lot of core content to be looking closely at but we will be breaking this down into bitesize chunks that we can all work with to help transfer knowledge into our long term memory! Lots of fun retrieval games will really help us to know more and remember more! 

Our residential trip takes place in October and this always ends up being a very memorable trip away for us all! With challenges such as high ropes, canoeing, abseiling and climbing there are so many amazing memories to be made with our friends.

Homework will include Tough Ten, spellings and a reading comprehension/vocabulary work. This will be set on a Friday and will be expected in the following Wednesday. 

Our PE days will be on a Friday during Term 1. I will let you know if this changes. Please can you ensure that your child has their PE kits in their locker for the whole of the term.
