Cavendish - Year 5/6 2025 - 2026
Miss Menna Bellis
Welcome to Cavendish Class; the home of Year 5 and 6!
Our topic this term will be Out of this World. We will be learning all about Earth and Space and will learn about the movement of the Earth, Moon and Sun, discover how day and night occur, and investigate why we have different seasons. We will also explore the solar system, comparing planets and understanding how gravity keeps objects in orbit.
In Religious Education we will be exploring the big questions, 'What is the nature and character of God?' and 'How did the news of Jesus' resurrection spread around the world?'
Cavendish PE Sessions
This term PE will be on a Tuesday and Wednesday 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.
