Riverside Class - Year 5/6

Welcome to Riverside Class!

In Riverside, we work hard to create purposeful and memorable learning opportunities, developing our confidence, independence and resilience as learners and beyond. We create a supportive and welcoming environment, where children are encouraged to foster positive relationships with those around them and become true role models to all children around school. 

Our classroom is a happy, respectful and safe space. Children are supported in asking questions, engaging in rich discussions and beginning to take more responsibility for their own learning journey. Above all, we want every child to leave our classroom feeling proud, capable and ready for their next adventure, equipped with everything they need for the exciting journey ahead.

Home Learning

Spellings:

Children are taught 10 spelling words each Friday, to be tested the following Friday. Five of these words will follow a spelling rule/pattern and the other five will be words from the statutory year 5/6 spelling list.

To find which spelling words the children will be tested on each week, please visit our UKS2 page.

Reading:

Children should be reading at least 3 times per week. Please log your child's reading on Boomreader. 

Times Tables Rock Stars:

Children are set 2x 10 minute sessions on TTRS per week. Please ensure your child is completing these sessions regularly to maintain their quick recall of multiplication facts.

Autumn 1 - September 2026

What a fantastic start to the year we have had in Riverside! I have been absolutely blown away by the children and their exemplary attitude to learning. I am so proud of each and every child and the example they are setting for the rest of school - they are true role models.

We have started the year with lots of fabulous home learning, thank you so much for your support with this. I always love to see the effort the children have put into this, showcasing their enthusiasm and engagement with our new topic all about the Maya! We have got lots more exciting learning planned this term; I am really looking forward to seeing all the amazing work we complete in Riverside this Autumn!
