Year 5C 2025 - 2026
Mrs Cavill
Miss Healey
Welcome back to the new school year!
We hope you had a safe and wonderful break and you are ready for the exciting year we have planned for you, here at St Peter’s.
In English, we will begin with reading classic fiction: The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. The children will explore many of his stories. Later in the term, we will move on to our non- fiction unit of UFO recounts. The children will look at report writing, finally creating their own recount. We will finish the term looking at instructions and explanation, focussing on future transportation devices.
In Maths, we will be developing our understanding of the four number operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). We will also be spending time on place value, so the children have a thorough understanding of numerical value.
For our Science Unit, Year Five will explore properties and changes of materials, looking at mixtures, solutions and separating these. In Geography will focus on How our Country is changing over time – looking at the effects of WW2 bombing as well as the building of the Olympic stadium.
Within our RE lessons, we will be investigating the question “How is God Holy and loving?” We will be developing the children’s understanding of how we think we know God and how we can get to know him better.
In Art, we will be focusing on the topic ‘Look at this- Cezanne’. In this unit we will be selecting, arranging and presenting objects in a still-life painting. We will investigate the work of artists who have used the theme of still life in a variety of ways to convey ideas and feelings
Homework
Homework will be given to the children on Friday and is expected back in to school on Monday.
Reading Books
Reading books are to be in school every day, please read with your children as often as possible it is vital to their success in their learning.
P.E.
May I remind you that, although Year 5 are scheduled to have P.E. on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, kit should be in school at all times in case of any last-minute changes.
