The Cathedral School

Years 5 and 6 Autumn Term 2025

Welcome back 
 
As always we are excited to welcome the children back into school and looking forward to the year ahead. We will be learning about Evolution and Light in science, oceans in geography and Vikings in History.  There will be lots of reading, lots of writing and a lot of maths.  Full details of what we are learning this year can be found on the long term and medium term plans. 
 
Throughout the year, there will be lots of visits to support our learning and some key sports events that children will be able to participate in.
