Welcome to Class 10!
We are a mixed Year 4 and 5 class. Our teacher is Mrs Egglestone and our teaching assistant is Mr Harrison . We always try to work hard and have lots of fun. We thrive on challenges and always look for opportunities to learn and develop ourselves and support others.
Autumn
In Spring term we will study World War II in History and answer the question, ‘How did women’s, men’s and children’s experiences of WW2 differ?. We are hoping to take part in a workshop with ‘Our Story’ (Durham Light Infantry Museum). Our English in Spring term will also be linked to World War II and we will study ‘Rose Blanche’ by Ian Mcewan and ‘Carries War’ by Nina Bawden. Our Artwork will focus on street art, how it can be created and exploring different mediums. Our main topic in science will be looking at the forces and how they affect us and the world around us. In Re we will learn about the Northern Saints and in Geography we will learn about Oceans.
Summer
Our Summer topic is, Why are the Rainforests under threat and what is being done to protect them?’ which includes fieldwork and the use an eight-way thinking model to consider and answer questions about the region. We will also learn about how leisure and entertainment has changed since our grandparent’s time in History and the work of scientists in Science. Our RE in Summer will study Islam and religious diversity.
As part of our Cultural Capital, we will also experience Paddle Boarding and water sports at our local marina.
