Year 5
Weekly Update - Friday 14th March 2025
Summary of this week:
On Friday, Miss Smith’s son Jasper came into to talk to the children about his recent trip to Mozambique where he volunteered at a coral reef sanctuary. In line with their geography topic on oceans, they learnt about the importance of keeping reefs safe and alive. We were impressed by the questioning the children put forward and it was great to see one of our subjects come alive through first-hand experience!
Our learning next week:
Maths: We will compete our topic of decimals including rounding and word problems.
English: Still using Kensuke’s Kingdom as stimulus for our writing, we will move onto newspaper reports.
Foundation: Geography – The impact humans have on the ocean and the coral reefs.
Science – Human Lifecycle - Adults and the Elderly. Changes of the human body over time, focusing on external and internal changes.
Computers – Stop Motion Animation. Investigate ideas and the creation of stop motion animation – We will be looking at the example of Wallace and Gromit. How is it made. Planning the creation of our own stop motion animation.
ART – Develop drawn ideas through printmaking. Creating an effective printing plate by combining different materials based on texture.
RE – What do Christians need saving from? We will be investigating the story of ‘Adam and Eve’ and ‘The Last Supper’. Focusing on actions and consequences.
