Welcome to Class 18G - Croeso i dosbarth 18G

Mrs Goodall is the class teacher in Class 18G

All the Year 5 and 6 classes work closely together to ensure your child receives the best possible learning experiences. We follow a two year cycle of planning with a wonderful, exciting range of topics and activities. We place a lot of importance on developing children's thinking skills and their ability to improve their own work, whilst giving them the basic skills from which they can begin to fully reach their potential.

Below is a brief outline of the topics we cover in Year 5 and 6. We would love it if you could talk to your child about their topic and find out more about what they've been learning.

 

Spring Term

 

This term our topic is ‘Journeys’.  Rather than looking at traditional types of journeys such as journeys to school, we will be looking at significant journeys that people make in life, such as explorers, refugees and the homeless. The topic will be supported by a range of non-fiction and fiction books. Our main picture books will be Shackleton’s Journey, The Day War Came and Way Home.
