Spring Term 2026
This term our Geography unit is Extreme Earth and the children will study the physical geography of Earth, including climate zones and biomes, the composition of the Earth and the effects of natural disasters. This is linked to our Art project after half term, which will be landscape painting using perspective, with a focus on ‘The Great Wave of Kanagawa’ by Hokusai. In Science, children will learn about the properties and changes in materials, including separation by filtration, sieving and evaporation, transparency and magnetism, thermal and electrical conductivity. In music, Year 5/6 will continue their recorder lessons with Mrs Claxton. Computing will be embedded throughout all subjects. Where possible, our other subject areas also link to our Geography unit.
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.
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
