Curriculum Overview
Year 5 and Year 6 Curriculum Overview Spring 2025
Y5/Y6 Science Cycle B
In Class 3, to help support our teaching of spelling, we set assignments on Spelling Shed on a Friday for Y5 and Y6. Spelling Shed is a game-based tool that can be used at home to boost children’s confidence in spelling. Children enjoy playing the games and practise their spellings in a fun, interactive way. Your child has been given their login information and they can access Spelling Shed online here: https://play.edshed.com/en-gb/login. The website can be accessed using a computer, phone or tablet; as ever, please do carefully supervise your child when they use the internet.
In Year 5 and 6, we work through a two-year rolling programme which you can find below:

The importance of reading in Year 5 and Year 6
Reading plays a crucial role in the development of pupils in Year 5 and Year 6, laying the foundation for their academic success and lifelong learning. At this stage, children are transitioning from learning to read to reading to learn. The skills they build during these years are essential for understanding complex texts, expanding their vocabulary, and deepening their comprehension of the world around them. Reading for pleasure has a high profile in our school and we actively encourage the children to explore the types of text that they enjoy and share with others.
Below you will find our reading curriculum for this academic year, in addition to wider reading recommendations:

Our class text for the Spring term is...
Why has this text been chosen?
At All Saints, we are passionate about giving our children a broad and rich reading experience throughout their time with us. 'The Vanishing Trick' is a relatively new children's novel, so we are meeting a new set of characters. In addition to this, the plot is set during a period of time that we are also learning about - the Victorian era - meaning that we will be deepening our learning of this period, in particular the superstitions of the time and how this influenced life. Another reason for the choice of this text is the author - Jenni Spangler is from Staffordshire! So we after studying authors from others place so far, we are excited to get to know a local writer.
