Welcome back everyone!
We have a really exciting half term ahead of us including World Book Day and our educational visit to Quarry Bank Mill! We cannot wait to see everyone in their costumes and learn more about Victorian life for children at the mill!
In English, we will begin the term by looking at the work of William Shakespeare and his famous plays! We will be focusing on understanding Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth and how we can use our knowledge and vocabulary to understand difficult words and phrases! We will then move onto non-fiction reports about animal migration and this fascinating phenomenon and finally our poetry unit of ‘You Wait Till I'm Older Than You!’ where the children will be learning some very funny poems.
In Maths, alongside the revisiting of place value and the four operations, we will also look at factors and multiples so keep practicing your times tables! Don’t forget our Times Table Rockstar’s!
Our Science unit will continue with looking at life cycles. We will be moving on from the human life cycle and will now be looking at a range of different types of animals and then comparing them. We will then be looking at different plant life cycles and cloning! As well as looking at some famous naturalists.
For R.E. we will be focusing on Why the Torah is so important to Jewish people? We will be looking at lots of information about this religion and the specifics about their holy scripture. We will be finishing off with a small unit reminding ourselves about Easter.
Our History topic is ‘What was life like for children during Queen Victoria’s reign?’ We will look at home life, working life and education and we will get to experience this first hand on our visit to the mill.
In DT we will be looking at bread. We will look at the origins of bread making, bread around the world and eventually the children will be making their own tasty inventions!
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 indoor P.E. on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, kit should be in school at all times in case of any last-minute changes.
Thank you for your continued support, The Year 5 Team!
