Welcome to Year 5
Miss Pearson & Mrs Sharman
Here is what you have to look forward to this term:
English
In English, we will be exploring the book 'Who Let the Gods Out' by Maz Evans. We will be discussing extracts, role playing scenes, creating concept maps, forming opinions and points of view, making character descriptions and planning and writing our own stories.
During the term, we will also be writing information leaflets, as well as studying instructions and explanations.
Maths
We will be covering a range of topics in Maths this term, such as: Place Value, Addition & Subtraction, Multiplication & Division, Perimeter & Area and Statistics. We will be practising our fluency but also delving deeper in our understanding and knowledge of these topics, applying our knowledge to a range of problems and puzzles.
Topic
This term, we are studying the Ancient Greeks. We will be exploring exactly who they were, what the Greek Empire looked like, the meaning of democracy and how it has changed, the events of the Battle of Marathon and of course - the Olympics! We will also have a very special visitor who will hold an Ancient Greek workshop for us!
Reading
Pupils will continue to return home each day with a reading book which must be read every school night. This needs to be signed by a parent or guardian to show you have read.
Occasionally, a book review will need to be completed so that we can ensure and your child can fully show their comprehension of the text they are reading.
