Upper Key stage 2 are significant years for children at Randwick C of E Primary School.  During these years, the children learn to develop their independence and have greater responsiblilties as they begin the final steps of their journey towards secondary school. They will learn more about the world around them as well as about themselves and will make great strides in their preparation for the next big step. In our class, we work hard to understand the importance of using our growth mindsets and maintaining a positive approach towards every learning opportunity. As a class, we welcome mistakes and choose to use these as a learning opportunity whenever we can. Our class environment encapsulates our theme; we love to be creative  whilst making links across the curriculum and also to our prior learning whilst benefitting from an enriched curriculum.

Our Class Text

Pig heart boy.jpg

This term, we will be reading 'Pig Heart Boy' by Mallorie Blackman 

To support our Science unit 'Animals including Humans' we have selected the fantastic text 'Pig Heart Boy'. This book is about a young boy named Cameron and follows him and is family as they struggle to make decisions surrounding health issues. 

Cameron desperately needs a new heart when he is offered the opportunity to take part in a radical and controversial experiment involving the transplant of a pig's heart. While Cameron soon comes to terms with the idea, he finds the world around him less accepting. A powerful and thought-provoking read.

Our Reading Passport at Randwick C of E Primary, has been created to inspire children to read the best literature available to them. Over the course of the year, we would like your child to read 7 of the books from the list for their year group.

When they manage to read 7, they will bring their passport back into school to receive a £5 book token.
