Our Curriculum

TOPIC - Ancient Egypt

READING 

This half term, we will be reading the non-fiction text Tutankhamun's Treasure by DAVID LONG. 

 In reading lessons we will be focusing on our VIPERS skills: vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, retrieval and summary.

We expect children to read at home at least three times per week and reading records to be filled in. 

WRITING

In writing this half term, our writing will be linked to our learning. We will cover these genres:

1. Instructions on How To Make A Mummy
2. A narrative based on a tomb discovery
3. A newspaper report about Howard Carter's uncovering of the tomb of Tutankhamun

Below are the year 5/6 statutory spellings:

Maths

This year, we will be continuing our Power Maths scheme which focuses on reasoning and looking at questions in different ways.  

This half term's focus will be PLACE VALUE.

We expect the children to use Times Table Rockstars at least twice weekly but please see Miss Milovanovic if you would like any further help.

Homework

•  Reading at home at least 3 times per week.
• Times Tables Rockstars at least twice per week. 
• Learning Log tasks are given out every two weeks.

Learning Logs are available to view on Class Dojo.
