Year 5

Weekly Update - Friday 20th December 2024

Summary of this week:

Wow! What a week it has been! The children have had a great time and we finished the term off with some games, a movie and a staff panto - which the children loved!

Thank you for all your support and we hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year with your loved ones.

Just a gentle reminder that Monday 6^th January is an INSET day, the children come back to school on Tuesday 7^th January.

Our learning next week: 

Maths: We will be exploring fractions. This will include ordering fractions, equivalent fractions and fractions as mixed numbers.

English: We will look at information texts. Our model text is about Stonehenge and we will analyse the language and structure of this text, discussing what makes it successful and informative.

History: Our new unit in History is the Vikings. We will look at who they were and why they invaded Great Britain. We will discuss the following vocabulary: chronology, invasions and Monarchy.

Science: We will start a new unit on global warming and what they can do to reduce it. The children will learn the following vocabulary: global warming, climate change, fossil fuels and greenhouse gases.

DT: We will start our unit on making doodlers. These doodlers are motorised, and the children will eventually make their own from scratch. This first lesson will focus on analysing the doodlers, as well as exploring children’s initial ideas.

Spellings: Apostrophes will be the focus in Spelling and these are the words that will be set for homework:

 archer’s           skeleton’s       people’s           relative’s         man’s       Stonehenge’s
