How we learn

In Year 5 and 6, we enjoy learning throughout the school day, which is based upon our topic. We take part in different types of activities within and outside the classroom. During the school year we particularly like visitors in our classrooms and going on school trips. Year 6 children will be looking forward to their residential trip at Yenworthy Lodge. We also take part in a variety of sporting tournaments, with other local schools, where we always display our outstanding sportsmanship.

Our school day includes teaching reading, maths and English lessons in the morning. In the afternoon we learn the foundation subjects and finish with a class story. During the day we like times table rockstars, which enables us to learn our times tables and listen to music at the same time.

Our learning is successful because we learn together as a team and we have a positive attitude. We revisit our learning and make links, so we can remember our new knowledge and skills.
