Year 5
Weekly Update - Friday 23rd May 2025
Summary of this week:
In the final week of this half term, our learning has been brought alive by dissecting a flower in science to recognise all its different parts and creating two popular Greek dishes in Design Technology (tzatziki and feta salad). The children worked brilliantly in pairs and small teams and enjoyed tasting the different ingredients!
Our learning next week:
Maths: We will start our new topic of measurements and weights.
English: We will begin a new genre of writing – non-chronological reports based around a text called Dragonology.
In science we will begin our topic of reversible and irreversible changes, in computing we will be finding out about Mars Rover 2, in geography we will be asking the question, “Would you like to live in a desert?”, in Religous Education we will begin posing the question, “Is life a journey?” and in art we will begin our topic on portraits.
Homework:
Spellings: We will be looking at Year 5 and 6 words.
Maths: Worksheet
English: Worksheet on using brackets for parenthesis.
