Tutsan Class (Year 5&6)
Welcome to Tutsan Class!
Welcome to Tutsan Class!
We are Year 5 & 6 and our teachers are Mrs Tully and Mrs Foord.
This year, our classes are named after plants that grow nearby on Breamore Marsh.
Tutsan - from the French words toute saine, meaning all healthy - is a beautiful green shrub, with delicate yellow flowers. It was used by The Druids for medicinal purposes, as it has antiseptic properties.
Class Timetable
This is our class timetable.
Miss Smith teaches us on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Mrs Tully teaches us or the rest of the week.

PE days

Please wear your PE kit to school on these days.
In colder weather, you may wear a navy tracksuit.
Spellings
Our weekly spellings are issued on Friday and are practised at school using Spelling Shed throughout the week.
Spellings are tested on Thursday morning.
Children have logins and should also practise spellings at home too.
See below for a link to Spelling Shed:
Word Walls
Below are the links to our word walls, which you will need to practise at home.
Class Reading
Every half term, we read a quality text as a class.
Parents are given the opportunity to purchase the book and have it delivered to school from The Fordingbridge Bookshop; we are proud to support local businesses. The children gain a lot from reading along together and we find that they really enjoy these sessions and are often asking to, "Just read one more chapter..."
Books we are reading as a class this term
Discover Term - Autumn 2024
Should We Accept Our Place In Society?
This autumn, we are exploring the project 'Should we accept our place in society?' through our key concepts of Equality and Justice. This term will have a History and Art focus, leading to an Ignite Speech Evening Event at school, where the children will be giving an individual 'Ted Talk' style speech, related to the learning they have done this term. We will also be showcasing our Landscape Artwork and Screen Printing pieces in a Gallery Room.
We look forward to welcoming you with mince pies and hot drinks to enjoy.
During our project, we will be exploring how class and gender affected a person's chance of survival on The Titanic. The role of women in WW1. How Suffrage, Apartheid and Propaganda played a part in overcoming oppression. Our learning will lead us to ask and hopefully answer the over-arching question, 'Should we accept our place in society?"
