Miss Menna Bellis

Welcome to Cavendish Class;  the home of Year 5 and 6! 

Our topic this term will be Innocence in War. We will be learning all about World War 2 and what life was like in wartime Britain. We will learn about rationing, evacuation and the Blitz and explore the impact of the War. 

In science we will learn about animals, including humans and we will learn about their life cycles. We will explore how to classify animals and think about their different characteristics.

In Religious Education we will be exploring the big questions, 'How does having faith affect people's lives?' and 'How is Christmas celebrated around the world?'

Cavendish PE Sessions

This term PE will be on a Tuesday and Friday afternoon. 

Cavendish Outdoor learning Sessions

The children will be enjoying Outdoor learning every Wednesday afternoon. 

Please ensure children are bringing appropriate clothing and footwear every Wednesday.

Cavendish Home Learning

Each week there will be spellings to learn and daily reading. Spellings are available on the class page.  We will have a spelling test and a 30 in 30 test each Friday.

Children are expected to read every night and are able to change their books when required. They should complete one of the reading comprehension tasks from the back of their reading record each week. Reading records should be brought into school every day and will be checked weekly.

Each child has access to EdShed, Bug Club, Times Tables Rockstars and SATs bootcamp. Children should access one of these digital resources every day in addition to reading.

Year 6 SATs Preparation

We are now using SATS Boot Camp to help our Year 5 and 6 children to prepare for SATS. Please ensure your child regularly accesses the 'Revise' tab on the website to recap a variety of Maths and English topics.
