Upper Key Stage 2 (Year 5 & Year 6)

Knowledge Organisers - Year 1 & 2- 2025/2026

Knowledge Organisers - Year 5 & 6 - 2024-2025

Knowledge Organisers - Year 5 & 6 2025-2026

Welcome to Upper Key Stage Two - Year 5 and 6. 

We currently have five classes within Upper Key Stage Two: in Year 5, we have Mrs S Hill and Mrs White, Mr Gallacher and Miss Pakulis. In Year 6, we have Mrs Sweeney and Mrs Gudgeon and Miss Holmes and Mr Griffiths.

We work hard to make our curriculum relevant and enjoyable and we strive for the children to be curious, ambitious, confident, knowledgeable, inspired and articulate learners.

Our topics this year cover the following Big Questions:

‘It's all Greek to me’  How did the Ancient Greeks influence my life?

‘To infinity and beyond'   What’s out there?

‘A child’s war’  What was it like to be a child during the war?

‘Our Green Planet’  How can I protect myself and the world?

‘Around Cape Corner’  What makes South Africa unique?

The main way we will communicate about our learning is through Marvellous Me. Please look out for updates about learning, how to support your children as well as celebrations of learning.

Your support is so important in helping children to make progress during their time with us. We continue to promote reading for pleasure amongst our older children and they will all have a reading folder containing their reading book and a reading record that should be filled out at least 3 times per week. Children can also access Reading Plus at home and should all know how to log on. 

Children will receive weekly spellings and we ask that the children learn them in any way that is useful to them. We will carry out a weekly check. Some children will be given different spellings to learn if that is more appropriate for them.

Children will have completed the national Multiplication Check at the end of year 4 and we really want them to retain that knowledge. We continue to encourage the use of Time Table Rockstars to help them practice their instant recall

We also use a Platform called Learning by Questions and we will set your children work to do at home and at school on it. 

Upper Key Stage 2 comes together once a week in our Celebration Assembly to celebrate all learning and achievements – it really is a lovely part of the week!
