This term in Year 5

We are jumping right into the spring term by starting a range of new units across our curriculum. Within our reading curriculum we will be looking at A Midsummer Nights’ Dream, I am not a label before moving onto The boy in the Tower. 

In writing, we will be recovering third person stories, letters of application and poetry as well as being introduced to playscripts and biographies. 

In Maths, we will consolidate multiplying and dividing, fractions as well as being introduced to decimals and percentages. It is crucial that the children continue to practice their times tables to assist them. 

Our after are filled with a range of subjects. In Science, we are starting with Forces, before moving onto Earth in Space. In History, we will continue to look at at Ancient Greece, before moving onto Mayans. In Geography, we are studying the 4 and 6 grid references. Within Design and Technology, Year 5 will be looking at Electrical systems as well as making their own pop-up book for a younger audience.  Within computing we are going to look at Stop Motion animation which links nicely to our art unit; set design. We will look at current stop motion animation that children will be aware of; such as Wallace and Gromit. Perhaps they can show you how this is made whilst discussing how to be safe online. 

Homework will be shared with you on the Friday ready to be handed in the following Thursday.
