Our Learning

Welcome to Turing class! Here you will find our newsletters, photos of our topic work and any important information about our class. Our class is taught by Mr Rourke Monday to Thursday. 

It's going to be a busy term! 

Our topic this term

This term's topic is Need for Speed, where we will be covering lots of areas of the curriculum. In DT we will be designing, building and evaluating. We will be looking at science (friction and forces), as well as lots of team-building exercises. We will study healthy foods and fitness, all in aid of supporting our final product. Within computing, we will look at programming skills and use spreadsheets to budget for resources and even use a green screen to advertise our work.

In PSHE as a year 6 cohort, we will look at our transition from year 6 to year 7 as well as covering sex education.

Important Class Information:

PE Days: Tuesdays and Fridays. Children need to come to school wearing their PE kit.

Reading Books: reading books will be changed on Tuesday.

Homework: A homework grid for this term is attached below.

Reading: Please continue to listen to your child read daily, even for 10 minutes, and encourage them to complete the reading task in the reading journal. Books should be changed regularly. Comprehension texts will continue to be set for the children to complete regularly on Rockerbox at home. 

Times Tables: It is important all pupils are learning (and continue to practice) the timetables up to the 12 times table. These should be known by the end of year 4 but it is essential that the children continue to practice and recall these facts.
