In science, pupils will be exploring classification, learning how living things can be grouped based on their characteristics. They will investigate different ways to classify plants, animals and microorganisms, use classification keys, and learn about Carl Linnaeus, whose system of naming and classifying living things is still used by scientists today.

English
During this Spring Term, we will be focussing our writing based on the book 'Shackleton's Journey' by William Grill
Shackleton's Journey is a unique visual re-telling Ernest Shackleton's landmark expedition crossing the Antarctic from one pole to the other. William Grill's impeccably researched and informative illustrations celebrate the 100th anniversary since the historic exploration by Shackleton and his crew on Endurance.
Maths
During the Spring term in Year 5/6 maths, pupils will be focusing on developing their understanding of multiplication and division, building fluency with written methods and applying these skills to solve a range of problems. They will also study fractions, including identifying, comparing and working with equivalent fractions, as well as adding and subtracting fractions in different contexts. In addition, children will learn how to convert between different units of measure, using their knowledge of multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000 to support accurate conversions.
