Archbishop Hutton's V.C Primary School
Class 4 2024 - 2025
Welcome to Class 4!
Welcome back for the summer term! This half term will be as busy as ever, particularly for the children in Year 6 who will be doing their SATS during the week commencing Monday 12th May.
This half term, we will be focusing on science and materials; what are their properties and how do they change? Throughout this unit of work, we will be exploring why we choose particular materials for their roles and examine why? What is the meaning of terms such as absorbency, Thermal conductivity, and insulation? Are some processes reversible or not? Through investigations that must be fair and comparative, we will be making predictions and focussing on how to make conclusions about the evidence we have gathered.
Please ensure you look out for the Materials Knowledge Organiser (downloadable here) in preparation for our knowledge mini quizes.We are a mixed Year 5 and Year 6 group.
This year we will be emphasising reading as a focus for our learning. Ensure that your home reader is in school EVERYDAY as we will be starting our day with reading and creating a calm and focused start to our day.
Class 4 will have PE on Monday and Friday afternoons.
Remember home learning is always due back in on a Tuesday so it can be checked and sent back out to you each Thursday.
Our Curriculum Newsletter is published every half-term.
