Welcome.

Welcome to Year 5 & Year 6.  We have three parallel classes:  Eyam (Y5), Darley Dale (Y6) and Crich (Y6). Please take a look at the information below to find out what we will be learning about in the Spring Terms. 

Thank you,

Mr West, Mrs Newman and Mr Hunter.

Key days each week.

What are we learning this term?

Our enquiry question for the Autumn Term 2025 is: Do our differences define us?

The driver for this enquiry is Geography and we will begin our learning by drawing comparisons between the United Kingdom and Brazil in South America!

In English, 🌴 Our creative minds will be exploring the mysterious Amazon rainforest, crafting beautiful descriptions with fancy vocabulary that would make even the most seasoned explorer impressed! 
Following this,🌍 The kids will explore deforestation's impact on our planet and brainstorm ways to protect our precious environment. 🌱 They'll channel their passion into persuasive letters to the Prime Minister, making their voices heard about forest conservation. 🌳 Nothing quite like watching young minds discover they have the power to speak up for our planet! We can't wait to see what creative solutions they come up with to save our trees. 🍃

'Under the Canopy'!

In Science we are learning about changes in material.  Looking particularly at their properties, solubility, versatility and whether they are insulators or conductors.

In Maths, Y5 and 6 will be returning to place value to extend our skills in this area.  We will learn how to recognise numbers up to 1,000,000.   This will be followed by a unit on addition and subtraction, before moving onto multiplication and division later in the term.  

Swimming

Y5 and Y6 will both participate in swimming lessons this year. 

These take place during the school day at Queens Park Sports Centre.
