SLS Recommended Reading Books
Welcome to Oak Class. We are a mixed Year 5 and 6 class and we range from 9 to 11 years old. Our class teacher is Mrs Montgomerie. On Tuesday afternoons we are taught by Mrs. Green. Our LSA (Learning Support Assistant) is Mrs. Lavender, who supports individuals and small groups. Sometimes small groups may work with other staff from across the school, too.
This half-term our History topic will help us to find out about the changing power of the monarchy. We will learn about some of the impacts made by some of Britain's Kings and Queens, as well as the role of the parliament. In Geography, we will learn more about Europe and the city of Paris. In French, we will learn some vocabulary that will help us give directions.
Our Science work will help us to think about evolution and inheritance, and how animals have adapted to suit their environments. Finally, in Art, we will consider how artists like Guy Denning and Picasso show mood and emotion, and we will create our own portraits.

Class Information
All the children have been given a homework book. These should be brought back to school every Monday. This year, there will be no spelling tests as we will be working on developing spelling knowledge as part of our English curriculum lessons. However, each week there will be a short homework task linked to our spelling work. Children will need to complete this in their homework book.
Please encourage your child to read daily. For most children, there is no need to listen to them read aloud, although they will benefit from regularly discussing the vocabulary and content of their book with an adult.
Times tables should also be practised at home (using the Times Tables Rockstars website) and progress will be tested and monitored using the 'Gig' option on the TTRockstars website in school. Maths homework will also be set for children to complete during the week, using the platform 'SumDog'.
PE is on Wednesday and Friday. On Wednesday, all children should come to school in their uniform and bring their kit with them. On Friday, we would like the children to wear their PE kits to school. They do not need a change of clothes on Friday.
