This term, Year 5 and 6 will be starting a new topic all about Peterborough and the surrounding areas. In literacy, we will be writing narratives which incorporate dialogue and allow us to develop characters through their speech. We have also studied ‘The Highwayman’- an exciting yet tragic poetic love story. This has allowed us to extend our knowledge and understanding of old English vocabulary as well as look at the structure and meaning of poetry.

In maths, we have been revisiting different mathematical concepts from throughout the year. We have used our learning from throughout the year to support in applying our knowledge to different reasoning and problem solving scenarios. In particular, we have focused on ratio and proportion, algebra, volume and fractions, decimals and percentages.

In religious education, we have been learning about the wisdom of different religions including, Christianity, Islam and Sikhism. We have used our discussion skills to enhance our understanding of these faiths and the comparisons between them.
