Welcome to the Year 5 and 6 Class Page
Year 5 and 6- Caring, Learning and Achieving Together!
Important Information
Our topic for the Spring term is called 'Through My Window'. We will be learning about Plasmarl, Swansea, Wales, Great Britain and the wider world. We will be developing mapping skills. There will be a focus on how we are governed. Our democracy will be compared to countries with different forms of governance e.g. monarchy, autocracy and dictatorship. We will be exploring the idea of 'belonging.' What it means to belong and feel part of our school and community. In Literacy, we will be focusing on spelling, punctuation and grammar. We will also be studying Reading Behaviours, using a book called Gaslight by Welsh author Eloise Williams as a stimulus. In our Numeracy work this term, we will be concentrating on number and measure. This will include: ratio, algebra, fractions, decimals and percentages and area, perimeter and volume.
