Class 5VT

Please note that PE is on Wednesday and Thursday, so please wear appropriate clothing and remove jewellery. You will also need long hair tied back.

We continue working very hard and looking forward to an exciting term of learning.

This term we be working on an amazing book by Gary Crew and Shaun Tan called The Viewer. We will respond not only to the text but the underlying themes that link with our imagination and creativity. We move on to other texts later in the term. In Geography we are looking at whether global warming and climate change are the same thing. We will also learn about what is being done to combat these. In Reading we will be working on The boy with the big decisions by Helen Rutter, a story all about making your own decisions and the consequences faced because of them. This is a choose your own adventure book. We aim to focus a lot on reading fluency, summarising and explaining our ideas using evidence.

Maths begins with multiplying fractions, moving on to measures. Building from what they know and taking their understanding further.

Science this term will be based on Zootropolis and will look at life cycles, habitats and how we change as we grow older.

PE will be on a Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon, children will need to be wearing appropriate clothing dependent on where their PE will take place.

In computing we will be working on selection in quizzes and creating our own quiz on Scratch.

PHSE looks at 'RSE', how our bodies change and how babies are formed.

RE will focus in on Faith in action and making links to other religious beliefs.

Daily practice of times tables will continue and anything done at home will greatly support this.

Track my read is still being used for recording all reading we do. Children are given time in school to record, but if they can track at home too they could win the reading prize.

We look forward to an amazing final term of learning and discovery.
