Creative Curriculum

Autumn Term

World War II

n the autumn term, we will be learning all about World War II. We will learn about major events during this time, what life was like during the war, the impact it had on society, gender roles in the war, propaganda posters, rationing and evacuees.    

Spring Term

What a Wonderful World!  

During the Spring Term, pupils will learn about some of the Earth’s most fascinating physical features, with a focus on rivers and mountains. We will investigate how rivers and mountains are formed, where they are found around the world, and why they are important to people and the environment. Through engaging lessons and activities, pupils will build their geographical knowledge and understanding of the world around them.

Summer Term

Rotten Romans!

During the summer term, pupils will learn about The Roman Empire and in particular, The Romans rule over Britain. We will explore and analyse the timeline of British history; thinking about Britain before and after the Romans. Pupils will answer questions, such as: Why was the Roman army so successful? What was life like in Britain during this period of time? What did the Romans leave behind? 

Important Notes for parents

Please can you ensure your child comes to school in their PE kits (school PE kit is white or t shirt or polo shirt, black shorts, leggings or tracksuit bottoms, red jumper or cardigan and trainers). Please ensure long hair is tied back and jewellery is taken out or covered.

Forest School for Kestrels will be on Thursdays 5^th and 12^th February.

Year 5/6 Statutory Spellings 

Below is a list of spellings all Year 5 children should read and write by the end of the year. These words are sent home as part of their spellings each week. Please help support your child's learning by practising these at home. 

Contact/Class Dojo

At Abingdon Primary we use Class Dojo which is embedded within every year group. We use Class Dojo to engage parents by sharing photos and videos of exciting moments in the classroom. It is also an effective way for teachers and parents to communicate.

At Abingdon Primary, each child has their own Times Table Rockstars account which they can use to help them learn the multiplication tables. It is essential that they use this every week in order to improve their skills and the speed of their recall.
