Welcome to Sycamore Year 5 and 6 Class
Spring Term 2024
Dear Sycamore Class & Parents
This term's topic is 'Wings & Wheels'. In our lessons, we will be investigating transport through the ages. In order to support our learning, we have an exciting trip planned for after half term to Amberley Museum. Our class reader this term, is the brilliant 'Brightstorm: A Sky-Ship Adventure' by Vashti Hardy. Arthur and Maudie Brightstorm are devastated by the news that their father, a daring explorer, has died in a failed attempt to reach South Polaris. But a mysterious clue leads the twins to question the story they've been told. To find the truth, they must undertake the journey of a lifetime. Further details of this term's curriculum can be found below, alongside information regarding the weekly timetable and spellings (to be updated shortly). Enjoy the term and any queries, please just ask. Ms Stas |
