Year 5
Welcome to Year 5 where you will find Mrs Davies and Mrs Murphy.
During the Summer term, Year 5 will continue their Geographical journey around the World, by looking at our Polar regions. We will find out about the human and physical geography of the Arctic and Antarctica. We will investigate the climate of these regions and how human impact is causing dramatic change. The children will also make comparisons between the two regions and look at how the land is used. During the second half of the term, we will learn all about the lives of the Ancient Greeks. We will discover how the lives of this ancient civilisation had impacted the world in which we live today; thinking about learning, democracy, sporting events and battle strategy. We will also learn all about the religious beliefs of the Greeks and their many gods and goddesses.
Our learning will be reinforced by the Literacy Tree texts that we will be studying this term: ‘Hidden Figures’, ‘Robot Girl’, ‘Cosmic, a Giant Leap for Boy Kind’. ‘Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief’ and ‘Who Let the Gods Out?’
We continue to have PE lessons on Wednesday Children are required to bring PE kits to change into for these sessions.
In year 5, spellings will be sent home with your child every Monday and they will be tested every Friday. Please encourage and support your child in practising their spellings regularly, this is vital to the learning process.
Homework is set each Friday. This will alternate between English and Maths and will usually be a revision of the topics covered that week. This must be returned by the following Monday.
Reading is a very important part of our curriculum and your child will receive a reading book that will be changed on a Monday. Children must bring their reading book to school at least once a week to be checked by an adult. We award prizes for those children who read regularly so please try to encourage them. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
