Year 5
Welcome to our Year Five page.
Welcome back and we hope you've had a lovely Easter break.
We have lots to look forward to this half term!
Half Term Five.
In English we will be writing a setting description of a 'wonder' based on our class text 'The Nowhere Emporium'. WE will also write an explanation text about life cycles linked to plants and animals.
In maths, we will be using our understanding of fractions to learn about decimals. We will compare and order and add and subtract decimals using real life contexts to help us to know where we find decimals in the world around us. We will also use written methods to multiply and divide larger numbers.
For our science lessons we will learn about reproduction in some plants. We will research the life cycles of some animals and compare how their life cycles are similar and different.
In computing we will be learning to use spreadsheets.
Geography will focus on developing our knowledge of South America further. We will learn about the main physical and human features of South America.
In DT we will be sewing fabric on fabric to create an applique picture.
During our PSHCE lessons we will learn about how to be our best, thinking about how our increasing responsibilities give us a chance to show increased independence.
In RE we think about the work of faith-based charities. We will research the work of Islamic Relief and Christian Aid and think about the contribution that giving to charity makes to the world.
During Spanish lessons we will learn classroom items and prepositions. We will learn to say where objects are.
