Year 5

Welcome to our Year Five page.

Welcome back and we hope you've had a lovely summer holiday.

We have lots to look forward to this half term!

Half Term One. 

In English we will be writing descriptions based on our class text 'Beowulf'.  We will also write an explanation text about life in Anglo Saxon times.

In maths, we will be learning about the value of digits in numbers up to 1,000,000.  We will also learn about Roman Numerals.  We will build our mental addition and subtraction skills and we will learn to use written addition and subtraction strategies for larger numbers.

For our science lessons we will learn about reversible and irreversible changes.

In computing we will be developing our word processing skills by adding images, text boxes and formatting pages.

Our History topic this half term will focus on The Anglo Saxons.  We will learn about where they came from, what life was like and the impact they have had on Britain today.

In DT we will be cooking a delicious fruit crumble.  We will research recipes, ingredients and cost up our product.

During our PSHCE lessons we will think about recognising different emotions in ourselves and others, knowing how to offer support to our friends and knowing how to be assertive when we need to stand firm.

In RE we think about what Hindus believe about God and how they show their beliefs through worship.

During Spanish lessons we will learn to recognise classroom equipment, sports and how to give opinions, saying what we like or dislike.
