Year 5
Weekly Update - Friday 4th July 2025
Summary of this week:
Year 5 were very fortunate this week to receive a visit from Surrey Fire Service. The children learnt about what to do in the event of a fire and how best to prevent them. We were very impressed with their inquisitiveness – some great questions were posed, and everyone went home knowing a lot more about fire safety.
Our learning next week:
Spelling: Year 5/6 words
Maths: We will continue working on measurements, focusing on volume and capacity.
English: The children will be introduced to our final text of Year 5 – ‘The Girl Who Stole an Elephant’ – an exciting adventure story based in Sri Lanka. Our writing will focus on formal letters – including how they are formatted and the language used.
In geography we will find out about dangers and threats in the desert, in art the children will be making their final design with their mixed media portraits, in computing we continue to learn about TinkerCad and in science we will be learning about how fire changes materials.
Homework:
Spellings:
Maths: Worksheet
English: Reading at home
Notices & Reminders:
Swimming: Foxes and Dingoes, Wednesdays. Wolves and Ark, Thursdays
