Year 5/6 are Currently Learning About...

Weslandia by Paul Fleishman

We have been reading the book Weslandia and discovering how being true to ourselves is really the best way to be!

Talking History by Joan Lennon, Joan Dritsas Haig, et al

This term, we have been using this inspiring book to think about issues of great importance. After finding out what makes a speech powerful, we wrote our own!

From Abraham Lincoln to Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Nelson Mandela to Greta Thunberg, people have used the power of speech to influence society for centuries. Great speeches have formed milestones in modern history, inspiring and engaging generations on important issues including war, women's rights, climate change and civil rights, and helping to shape the world we live in.

Featuring 17 influential speeches from the past 150 years, Talking History explores the events leading up to each speech, how the spoken word was used to great effect, and the impact it had on the world, presented in graphic novel style to put the reader at the heart of the action. A book to inspire a new generation of thinkers and talkers.

Previous Learning

The Lost Words

All over the country, there are words disappearing from children's lives. These are the words of the natural world; Dandelion, Otter, Bramble and Acorn, all gone. A wild landscape of imagination and play is rapidly fading from our children's minds.

The Lost Words stands against the disappearance of wild childhood. It is a joyful celebration - in art and word - of nearby nature and its wonders. With acrostic spell-poems by award-winning writer Robert Macfarlane and illustrations by Jackie Morris, this enchanting book evokes the irreplaceable magic of language and nature for all ages.

The Brilliant Deep

The Selfish Giant - Oscar Wilde

When the Selfish Giant builds a high wall round his lovely garden to keep the children out, the North Wind blows, the Frost comes and the Snow dances through the trees. The Giant wonders why Spring never comes to his cold, white garden. Then one day the Giant looks out to see a most wonderful sight . . .

Tales of Gods and Pharaohs - Marcia Williams

Full of mystery and adventure, the stories of the Egyptian pharaohs and their ancient gods are steeped in thousands of years of history. From the creation myth to the curse of Tutankhamen and the fall of Cleopatra, Marcia Williams' classic comic strip retellings bring new life to the myths and wonders of this ancient civilization.

Riddle of the Runes

Author: Janina Ramirez. Alva rushes through the trees in the dead of night with her sniffer wolf, Fen. Being out alone when there's a kidnapper on the loose is reckless, but if she ever wants to be an investigator like her Uncle Magnus, she'll need to be first to the crime scene. But what Alva discovers raises more questions than it answers, drawing her into a dangerous search for truth, and for treasure...

Beowulf

In fifth-century Denmark, a murderous monster stalks the night, and only the great prince of the Geats has the strength and courage to defeat him. Beowulf's terrifying quest to destroy Grendel, the foul fiend, a hideous sea-hag and a monstrous fire-dragon is the oldest surviving epic in British literature.

Spelling word lists and TTRS

There is an expectation that the children can spell most of these words by the time they leave us. It would be great it they could practise these at home as well as in school. There are lots of fun games you can play with spellings. Ask your children to show you the games we play in school- they may be able to challenge you to a spelling race!

We are also lucky enough to subscribe to Timestable Rockstars. This is a great online resource that the children love and it really improves children's rapid recall of their times tables in a fun way.
