YEAR 5/6 CLASSES AUTUMN TERM PLANNING OVERVIEW
Children will consolidate knowledge of place value and extend learning to encompass fractions, decimals and
Numeracy.
percentages and move between different forms of number with increasing confidence. Column addition,
decomposition subtraction, short and long multiplication and division will be taught, together with activities to
enable children to develop their number reasoning skills.
A wide range of measures knowledge and skills will be taught, including practical application of skills through
activities such as planning, costing, baking and accounting tasks for the Macmillan Coffee Morning, which
children will host on September 30th. Details about this event will be sent in due course. Learning will include
the adaptation of recipe amounts to encompass ratio and proportion skills.
Children will also be taught how to interpret and draw their own line graphs and pie chart, and how to display
information in the most appropriate way. They will also be taught how to read a wide variety of timetables.
Geometry lessons will include knowledge of the properties of shape including finding the area of triangles, circles
and parallelograms.
Literacy.
Children will begin to extend their literacy skills with a focus on drafting, editing and producing a final polished
Narrative/
piece of high quality work. They will begin their literacy with a recount of an event from their summer holiday,
Poetry/Nonfollowed by a research project after which they will write a speech designed to persuade people to support a

charity (this will be Macmillan and will link with the children organising and running a Coffee Morning on 30th
September).
The third piece of writing will link with our science topic on living things and their habitats, and children will write
a descriptive text based on an imaginary animal and its habitat.
Children will learn to write balanced arguments on topics of interest, and this will be followed by a narrative unit
based on our history topic (World War II) and the film Goodnight Mr Tom along with letters home from evacuees.
Our science learning for the first half term is Living things and their habitats. Children will revise previous work on
Science.
habitats and interdependence, then will extend their knowledge and learn about life cycles examining the life
cycle of an insect, a mammal, an amphibian and a plant.
Children will then learn about Carl Linnaeus and his classification system. They will learn how different animals
are classified and named, and the characteristics of each group.
During the second half term, children will learn about how we see things in our topic on light, followed by a short
topic on electricity, in which they will learn to make electrical circuits and apply their skills by making a model
reindeer with a flashing nose or a nativity scene complete with star in Design Technology.
History
Our History topic is to study an aspect of British history extending chronological knowledge beyond 1066, and we
have chosen to study World War II, which is a popular topic and one that the children always enjoy. Children will
begin their work with a timeline of the ages of British history, such as Stone Age, Victorians and so on to give an
overview of our history, followed by a timeline of important events such as the Great Fire of London and the
Great Plague. They will then research the key events of World War II and study specific events such as the Blitz
and the evacuation of children from London to the countryside. In order to help children to understand the
importance of this period of history, we will visit Kelham Island in Sheffield to experience a World War II
Workshop for the day on October 11th. Children and staff will dress in the costume of the period and will take a
‘ration’ packed lunch. Further details will be sent out nearer the date. We will study Goodnight Mr Tom in
literacy to further consolidate understanding and are hoping to take the children to the theatre if the play is being
performed locally.
Geography
Children need to learn about the map of the world together with key areas such as the equator, polar regions and
the Tropics of Capricorn and Cancer. They will look at the geography of World War II and note changes from the
maps of that period to the maps of today.
RE
Year 5/6 will study journeys to special places in both the Christian faith (the Christmas story and pilgrimages to
special places) and that of Islamic Hajj. They will be able to study the similarities and differences of the faiths.
