Years 5 and 6

Welcome to UKS2

Autumn Term 2026

Our PE days for this term are Monday and Thursday. Children in UKS2 change for PE in school and therefore are required to bring their PE kit into school on Monday and take it home on Friday to be washed. We have swimming lessons every Wednesday until the Christmas Holiday.

This term our Geography unit is Global Links and the children will study how we have all become global shoppers and research which countries we import and export to as well as learn about the natural resources of the UK.  In Science, the children are learning about Space and our Solar System. After half term, our DT unit will be Food Technology and the children will design and prepare their own savoury products.  In music, Year 5/6 will continue to learn to play the recorder and read, write and compose with Mrs Ledger. Before Christmas in PE, we will be learning handball, volleyball, swimming, gymnastics and golf. Where possible, our other subject areas also link to our Geography unit.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
