Welcome to Class 11!
Class teacher: Miss Taylor
Teaching Assistant: Miss Menezes
Welcome to Year 5!
The children in Class 11 have made a brilliant start to 2025. The children consistently demonstrate resilience, kindness and focus during lessons. I know that we will continue to work as a team to tackle any challenges that we may face in Year 5.
During Spring term, we have a range of interesting topics to explore. Our English and Science topic both cover ‘Space’ with our new text, ‘The Kid Who Came From Space’ by Ross Welford. We will use our core reading and writing skills to develop our own style as we write our own narrative texts. Each character (Tammy, Ethan, Iggy and Hellyanne) will take us on a journey as we discover the location of Tammy. After this, we will explore ‘Hidden Figures’.
Our topic this term is ‘The Victorians’, where we will learn about the Victorian era and the influence of Queen Victoria upon British Empire. In addition, we will use a range of sources to explore Victorian childhood and adulthood. We can also apply our prior knowledge of our visit to Beamish. We look forward to learning more about the Victorian era, and where it sits within history.
In Maths, we will begin by looking at statistics before answering a variety of reasoning and problem-solving questions based on graph analysis. Then we will look at area and perimeter before exploring fractions. Both topics aim to build on prior Year 4 learning, whilst adding further strategies to answer a range of questions.
Our Science topic for Spring term focuses on Space – another opportunity to gain an understanding of our solar system! We will be exploring the planets and their conditions and create our own solar system using fruit and vegetables. We will have an opportunity to apply this knowledge when completing a range of oral, written and active tasks as a group.
Religious Education this term will look at the Gospel, with a focus on ‘what would Jesus do?’. We look forward to applying our Core Chrisitan values when learning about stories of the Bible and how we can spread the message of God. This terms PE will take place with both our Sports coaches, and the team at ‘Velocity’ as the children complete their trampolining unit. We will explore Greek dance with our Sports coaches.
The Year 5 team look forward to seeing the progress that is made throughout this term and know it will be an amazing term!
