Term 1
Welcome to Year 5!
We start the year off with our class text 'Shackleton's Journey', a beautifully illustrated retelling of Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated exploration of Antarctica. Linked to our text, our geography lessons are all about global biomes, and we will have a closer look at Antarctica through maps. In our maths, we will be exploring place value and numbers up to 1,000,000, and we will develop our comparing, ordering and rounding skills.
Our science learning this term is all about materials and their properties. Through investigations, we will be exploring how salt is removed from the sea to create sea salt. We will be designing and baking high-energy cereal bars for Shackleton's crew in our DT lessons. In computing, we will learn how to use search engines safely to research on the internet.
Our PE lessons are on Tuesdays and Fridays this term, and we will be practising our hockey and football skills. Please ensure that your child has a named PE kit in school. We will be setting homework weekly, usually on a Friday, and we would like homework books to be back in school by Thursday at the latest. Please continue to read regularly with your child at home, or to encourage them to read independently.
Thank you for all your support.
