Welcome to Cavendish Class; the home of Year 5 and 6!
Our topic this term will be Wilderness. We will be learning all about different environments around the world. We will learn about Shackleton's journey and thinking about conditions in the Antartic.
In science we will learn about animals, including humans and we will exlore the functions of different systems in our bodies.
Cavendish PE Sessions
This term PE will be on a Monday and Friday afternoon.
Cavendish Outdoor learning Sessions
The children will be enjoying Outdoor learning every Thursday afternoon.
Please ensure children are bringing appropriate clothing and footwear every Thursday.
Cavendish Home Learning
Each week there will be spellings to learn and daily reading. Spellings are available on the class page. We will have a spelling test and a 30 in 30 test each Friday.
Children are expected to read every night and are able to change their books when required. They should complete one of the reading comprehension tasks from the back of their reading record each week. Reading records should be brought into school every day and will be checked weekly.
Each child has access to EdShed, Bug Club, Times Tables Rockstars and SATs bootcamp. Children should access one of these digital resources every day in addition to reading.
Year 6 SATs Preparation
We are now using SATS Boot Camp to help our Year 5 and 6 children to prepare for SATS. Please ensure your child regularly accesses the 'Revise' tab on the website to recap a variety of Maths and English topics.
