Year 5

Welcome to our Year Five page.

Half Term Six. 

This half term our Big Question is, 'How did Hitler convince a nation like Germany to follow him?' 

Adults in Year Five:

Mrs Clews and Mrs. Peerzada

In English we will be writing diary entries as if we were soldiers or evacuees during WWII.  We will try to bring our emotions to life and capture the feelings of the experience.  We will also write a non-fiction text about what life was like during WWII.

In maths we will learn to measure angles using protractors.  We will add and subtract using decimals and learn about statistics through tables, charts and line graphs.

Our science lessons will develop our working scientifically skills.  We will present information in line graphs and think about which variables we should change in an investigation.

In computing we will be using concept maps to collect and organise our ideas. 

In DT we will make lanterns that could have been used during the blackouts of WWII . We will design our lantern, taking account of how we will attach a working circuit

During our PSHCE  lessons we learn some basic first aid skills and we will think about how our emotions and bodies change as we grow.

In RE we will think about what pilgrims hope to achieve on pilgrimages from a range of faiths.  We will learn how pilgrimages help believers to make changes and develop themselves and their faiths further.

During Spanish lessons, we will be revising our learning from across year 5 - weather, hobbies, pets, favourite subjects, etc.
