Year 5

Welcome to our Year Five page.

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

We have lots to look forward to this year!

Half Term One. 

This half term our Big Question is, 'Were the Anglo Saxons really smashing?' 

Adults in Year Five:

Mrs Clews, Mrs. Meredith and Miss Ashton,

In English we will be writing reports about life in Anglo Saxon times.  We will be reading Beowulf and a poem called Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. We will then create a class poem written in a similar style.

In maths we will be working on our knowledge of place value, rounding, addition and subtraction. 

Our science lessons will develop our understanding of solids, liquids and gases. 

In computing we will be thinking about how to keep ourselves safe online. 

In DT we will be looking at some Anglo Saxon recipes and producing some tasty treats!

During our PSHCE  lessons we will be thinking about healthy relationships with our friends. 

In RE we will think about what matters most to Christians and Humanists. 

During Spanish lessons we will be discussing classroom instructions and giving our opinions about sporting activities.
