Summer Term 2
This half term we will continue to study Ancient Rome with a closer look at why the Romans wanted to invade Britain. We will also be learning some key facts about the Romans in our French lessons.
In Science we have two more lessons in our forces topic to finish and then we will finish the year by taking a close look at the human heart and how it is part of the circulatory system.
Our PE lessons for this half term will be SWIMMING!! We have waited so long to get back into the pool so make sure your swimming kits are in school every Monday and Friday. You won't need to wear your PE kits this term apart from on sports day. Remember to bring goggles if you are used to using them in the pool.
We will also need to spend lots of time rehearsing for the end of year production Robin Hood, so I hope you are all busy learning your lines!
Summer Term 1
This term our topic is all about Ancient Rome. After discovering the legend of the founding of Ancient Rome, we will study the effectiveness the the Roman ruling system then look at the different jobs that people would have had during this period in history.
Our science topic is all about forces including gravity, air and wind resistance and how different surfaces can affect how much frictions is produced.
We have our residential to Grafham Water so keep checking your kit list is getting packed!
Also, for those of you in the choir, we are finally going to Young Voices. I am so excited to be able to sing at the O2 Arena again. For those of you who haven't been before, it is an unforgettable event.
Our PE days have changed this term. You will need to come to school dressed in your PE kits on Mondays and Tuesdays. We have the Hunts Schools Sports Partnership coming in to teach athletics on Tuesdays.
I love the summer term!
Please take a look at the medium term plan below for more information about everything we will be doing this term.
Spring Term 2
As the weather starts to warm up and Spring approaches, we are going to get out and explore Brington village in more detail as part of our local study. Make sure you always have warm clothes and a coat in school for these village walks. You will be exploring clues that help us find out when buildings were built and spot things that you have probably not noticed before about the village in which many of you live. We will continue to have PE on Mondays and Wednesdays so remember to come into school with your PE kits on.
Please have a look at the planning for half-term below for more details about our next busy half-term.
Spring Term 1
Happy New Year!!
I am really looking forward to 2022. We have so many new and exciting topics to immerse ourselves in and your dedication to learning last term makes me keen to get the new term underway.
This term we will be taking a close look at the area in which we live and where it is positioned in the world. We will be exploring the village on foot. I know you will be surprised to learn new information about things you walk past every day. We will be using paper and online maps, and digging deeply into what makes our area unique.
I love the science topic this term. We will find out how to classify all living things. There may be sweets involved too!
PE days are the same as last term so come into school in your PE kits on Mondays and Wednesdays.
If you want to find out more about our learning this term then take a look at the medium term plan for more details.
Finally - I know I always say this - but please let us know if you need any extra help or support at any time. We want you to love learning and being in school.
Autumn Term 2
What an amazing first half term we had to our World War II topic! Our 'Brington Anderson Shelter' project is almost complete with just one or two more sessions to go. Our first novel study 'Letters from the Lighthouse' had us on tenterhooks as we got towards the end and finished on the last day of half term. I have never seen a class so keen to listen to a story!
The success of our tag rugby team was the icing on the cake of a brilliant start for Eagles Class this academic year.
We will continue this topic this half term and start to explore the home front, the D Day landings and the end of World War II.
Our PE days will change this half term so pupils need to come into school in their PE kits on Mondays and Wednesdays. We are having a go at a new sport later in the half-term. Mrs Johnson is quite excited!
Please see below for more information in the Medium Term Plan below.
Autumn Term 2021-2022
Autumn Term 1
Hello to you all in years 5 and 6.
Welcome back to another amazing year at Brington!
I hope you all had a lovely and restful summer break.
I am really looking forward to this term with you all and know we will work hard, have fun and enjoy each others company.
Our main topic this half-term is World War II and in science we will be studying light.
Remember to come to school in your PE kit on Mondays and Tuesdays. We are really lucky that we have a fantastic coach to teach us some of our PE this half-term - a PE skill that I don't think any of you have ever heard of!

Mrs Johnson and Mrs Kiernan will both be working with us in Eagles class this year.
