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. 

Welcome to Year 5! 

We are looking forward to an exciting term of learning. 

This term we be working on the book Street Child by Berlie Doherty, which is about a young boy's experience of life during the Victorian times. From this we will produce a variety of written pieces, including completing the story and working on some non-fiction. Following this we will look at a the poem The Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. 

Maths begins with place value, looking at numbers and will continue to develop the children's skills and understanding in a range of areas. Building from what they know and taking their understanding further. 

Science this term will be based on a day at Disney and will look at forces, gears, pulleys and safety amongst other things. 

For history we look find out more about the Victorian times, with a particular emphasis on the Industrial Revolution,  discovering how we have benefited from this.  

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

In computing we will begin to learn about images, how they are made and how to create them effectively for ourselves.  

PHSE looks to being ourselves and setting goals for our future.   

RE is focusing in on Sikhism and learning about the beliefs and practices involved. This will much discussion and thought, comparing to our own lives. 

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 term of learning and discovery.
