About Class 3

Class information:

Welcome to Class 3 - Year 5 and 6 - from Mr Breckon!

Our classroom is a vibrant and exciting place where learning, creativity, and confidence grow every day. As the oldest students in the school, we take pride in being positive role models and leaders within our school community.

We are encouraged to think independently, ask thoughtful questions, and take on responsibilities—both in the classroom and around the school. Whether it's preparing for secondary school, leading assemblies, helping younger students, or representing our school in sports and competitions, we rise to every challenge with enthusiasm and a strong sense of teamwork.

In Year 5 and 6, we explore big ideas across all subjects:

English

We focus on developing confident readers and skilled writers. Children explore a wide range of texts,

including novels, poetry, and non-fiction, and use them as inspiration to write creatively and with purpose. Grammar, spelling, and vocabulary are taught in context to help pupils become fluent, expressive communicators.

Maths

Our maths curriculum deepens understanding of key concepts such as fractions, decimals, percentages, and problem-solving. Pupils are encouraged to explain their thinking, tackle complex challenges, and apply their skills in real-life contexts.

Science

We investigate exciting topics such as forces, Earth and space, properties of materials, and living things. Pupils work scientifically by asking questions, planning investigations, and drawing conclusions from their findings.

History & Geography

Children explore significant historical events, ancient civilizations, and global geography, developing research and critical thinking skills.

Art & Design Technology

Creativity is nurtured through projects that encourage self-expression and hands-on learning.

Computing

Children develop digital skills through coding, online safety lessons, and using technology to

support their learning across the curriculum.

RE & PSHE

We promote respect, empathy, and an understanding of different beliefs and values. Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education helps pupils navigate friendships, emotions, and challenges confidently.

Physical Education promotes fitness, teamwork, and perseverance through a wide range of sports and

activities.
