Year 5

Welcome to our Year Five page.

Welcome back and we hope you've had a lovely half term break.

We have lots to look forward to this half term!

Half Term Two. 

This half term our Big Question is, 'Will we ever send another human to the moon?' 

In English we will be writing magical stories based on the book, ‘Leon and the place between’. We will write non-chronological reports about space and will also be working on a poem called ‘The Magic Box’. We will read this poem and create a poem of our own using a similar style.

In maths we will be working on multiplication and division and fractions.  

Our science lessons will develop our understanding of space by completing a scientific enquiry. We will think about what causes day and night and also the phases of the moon.  

In computing we will be using databses.

In art we will be studying the artist Peter Thorpe and creating space pictures.

During our PSHCE lessons we will be valuing difference.

In RE we will look at how Christmas is celebrated around the world.

During Spanish lessons we will be presenting weather reports and discussing pets. We will also be thinking about the verb tener.
