Curriculum overview
Spring Term 2 2024/25
As well as our core curriculum work this half term, the children have participated in their Bikeability courses, been on a school trip to Armley Mills as part of our learning about the Industrial Revolution, received expert Rugby coaching from Leeds Rhinos and enjoyed the annual spectacle that is Guiseleys's Got Talent!
Spring Term 1 2024/2025
The children have been immersed in the world of the Tudor era this half term. They have studied each of the Tudor monarchs and explored primary and secondary historical sources in an attempt to establish which king or queen was the most terrible. They have written stories inspired by their learning as well as composing their own Tudor-themed music! They explored feelings and resilience during Children's Mental Health week and learned about "scamming" in Internet safety week.
Autumn Term 2 2024/2025
This half term saw the introduction of a topic called 'Our restless Earth' which took an in depth look into the world of tectonic plates and volcanoes. The children also loved getting stuck into this term's class novel 'Holes' by Louis Sachar and spent time creating newspaper reports detailing the arrest and sentencing of the book's main character Stanley Yelnats. As well as learning to play handball, another highlight was dissecting hearts as part of our science topic: the circulatory system. Have a look at the photos... if you dare. We finished the term off in festive style with our Year 5 and 6 carol concert at St Oswald's Church.
