Welcome to Year 5-6. As the children enter the final two years of their primary education, we look to help them build on the core skills they have developed during their time with us while promoting the sort of independence that will enable them to thrive when they move on to secondary school.

Our three classes – Azul, Morado and Rojo- follow a mixed-age curriculum which is designed to encourage overlearning. The skills and key knowledge that are learnt in Year 5 are repeated the following year, ensuring that the children consolidate their understanding and develop a greater depth to their learning.

As well as focusing on academic skills, we also look to support the children to grow into well-rounded young people who will go on to make a positive contribution to society. At the heart of everything we do are our school values of being respectful, ambitious, proud and safe.

Our partnership with Nottingham Trent University, creates opportunities to raise aspirations and we also work closely with local secondary schools to ensure that the transition to Key Stage 3 is as smooth as possible.

Every week, the children will complete a times table test in the classroom. On Maths Shed, they will be assigned the times table they are focusing on for their weekly test. They should complete 5 games on the Maths Shed website.

The children will complete a Multiplication Tables Check. They can practice and prepare for the test via this link. 

Every child has an online account on the Learning With Parents website. Each child should aim to read at least four times a week.

Children will complete a weekly spelling test. The spellings will be assigned every Friday and they should complete 5 games on the Spelling Shed website.
