Year 5H 2024 - 2025

Welcome to 5H

Happy New Year! Hope you all had a lovely break and are ready to start 2025!

We have some fantastic topics to learn about across lots of different subjects this term.

In English, we will begin the term by looking at horror stories and writing for this genre. We will then look at forming an argument for or against different topics. Finally, we will become detectives to solve the mystery of some very unusual events, writing our reports on our findings!

In Maths, alongside the revisiting of place value and the four operations, we will be looking at shape. We will deepen our understanding of 3D shapes and investigate the properties of polygons.

Our science unit will be animals including humans. We will look at how animals are suited to their environments and explore many life cycles including some very unusual ones! 

For R.E. we will be focusing on Jesus as the Messiah. We will be looking at the prophecies preluding His birth and why He is such a significant feature of the Christian faith.

Our Geography our topic is ‘Where should we go on holiday?’ Looking into the Alpine region of Europe including tectonic plates and the formation of mountains!

In Art, the children will be looking at containers as historical and practical items and how they have been used as an expression of art, eventually learning techniques and using examples for inspiration to create their own special container.

Homework

Homework will be given to the children on Friday and is expected back in to school on Monday.

Reading Books

Reading books are to be in school every day, please read with your children as often as possible it is vital to their success in their learning.

P.E.

May I remind you that, although Year 5 are scheduled to have indoor P.E. on a Tuesday and Friday, kit should be in school at all times in case of any last-minute changes.
