OUR PLANET; THE FUTURE BEGINS HERE!
Welcome to the Upper Key Stage Two page. This is where you will be able to find lots of useful information about our UKS2 classes at Spurcroft Primary School.
Our current topic for the Spring Term is OUR PLANET; THE FUTURE BEGINS HERE! As part of this topic, the children will be exploring the impact of climate change, deforestation and plastic pollution and how we can help to reduce the impact of these issues.

Spring 1 Topic Web
Upper Key Stage 2 Team Leader Forum- 03.12.19
Thank you to those parents who attended the forum last term. The PowerPoint shared at this is below for anyone who was unable to attend. On the PowerPoint are some useful websites and tips for helping your children at home with spelling, reading and maths. As requested, attached is a document which will help children to practise using some of the grammatical skills required at Year 5 and 6. It could be used as a writing game, choosing a card at random and adding this grammatical skill into the next sentence. Also attached is a copy of the year 6 writing targets for this term.
