Welcome to Oak Class

Year 5 and Year 6

We hope you enjoy visiting our webpage which shares with you the exciting learning that takes place in our Y5/Y6 classroom.

This year is a significant year for our children and their learning opportunities. We encourage them to take part in all aspects of learning, including homework. For Y6, in particular, this will enable them to maximise their full potential in preparation for their transition to high school. Please follow us on Twitter @Class5_StDavids for daily updates and reminders.

This term's project is:

MAAFA

 
 
In the Maafa project your children will learn about Africa past and present, with a particular focus on Benin. It traces the development of the slave trade and explores Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, the causes and consequences of the European colonisation of Africa and the worldwide communities that make up the African diaspora.
 
Science
This project teaches children about the transport role of the human circulatory system, its main parts and primary functions. They learn about healthy lifestyle choices and the effects of harmful substances on the body.
 
Geography
In Our Changing World mini-project we will revise the features of Earth, time zones and lines of latitude and longitude to pinpoint places on a map. Children find out more about map scales, grid references, contour lines and map symbols. They learn about climate change and the importance of global trade. Children analyse data and carry out fieldwork to find out about local road safety. They study patterns of human settlements and carry out an enquiry to describe local settlement patterns.
