Welcome to Class 10 for Year 5 and 6 pupils.
I'm Mr. Wilkinson and I am the class teacher. I teach in class everyday, alongside Miss Oldfield. Miss Moss takes the class on Wednesday afternoons and Mrs. Maycock on Tuesday afternoons. Mrs. North also works with the Year 5 pupils in the mornings and some Year 6s in the afternoons.
I hope you enjoy your time in our class during the very important final years at primary school.
The Year 6 SAT tests will take place on the week of 13th May 2024 in the mornings. These will test, spelling, punctuation and grammar; reading and maths (Both arithmetic and Reasoning). See this website https://www.sats-papers.co.uk/2024-sats-papers/#2024-ks2-sats
and Dojo for updates on how you can help your child with these tests as well as using the resources provided.

SPRING 2
All aboard for 1940! We're travelling back in time to a period in British history when many children experienced a completely different life to their usual life - as EVACUEES! We're reading WW2 based books about evacuees, studying this period in History and looking at structures in D.T. with a final project to build a model shelter to protect you and your family. We'll also be creating a Blitz scene that we can enter and move around in Computing, as well as some perspective artwork in Art. We are also building on our map reading skills and looking at Manchester as a city and it's development. An exciting term as we look at WW2 until Easter and continue to prepare Year 6 for their SAT Tests in May.
