Year 5F 2023 - 2024

Welcome back Year 5, we hope you enjoyed your Easter holiday!

In English this half term, we will begin our term by reading The Hobbit by J. R. R Tolkien, investigating settings, character development, dialogue and narrative style. We will then move onto using texts about persuasion!

In Maths, we will start by looking at drawing line graphs and using them to help us convert between imperial and metric units. We will then move on to furthered developing our operation skills and using these in problem solving and reasoning. 

For our Science Unit, Year Five will look at the unit plants. We will have the opportunity to investigate plants in our own school grounds and even plant some vegetables themselves!

For R.E. Year 5 will explore The Bible in more detail. Specifically looking at how Christians use the Bible for advice and guidance in many different situations in life. The children will compare this to who and where they feel they would seek advice and guidance from in their own lives.

Our topic work in Geography will be focusing on ‘How is our Country Changing’. Children will explore how various events in our country’s history have changed the physical and human features of our landscape.

In Art we will be looking at textiles – concentrating on the area of silk painting. I won’t give too much away but this will link to our English topic!
