Useful Websites
Here are some websites that you can use whilst you are in Year 5 and 6.
Year 5 and 6 statutory spellings
Below are the Year 5 and Year 6 statutory spellings. These are covered through weekly spelling tests but any additional practice will help the children become confident with the spellings. Repetition and application into writing is key when it comes to helping children to remember their spellings. Thank you for your ongoing support with this.

Our learning in Years 5/6
As we have mixed age group classes, we have a two-year rolling programme to ensure our children cover the national curriculum effectively and learn the content they need in a progressive way. This means whether they start in Upper Key Stage 2 in Year A or Year B they will cover the content they need in a way that builds their skills progressively. The academic year 2024-25 is Year B.
