News from Year 5
Welcome to the Spring term! I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break and that you are ready to move on with your learning in this important term. We will be starting a new topic, The Ancient Greeks, and starting a new unit in Science.
English
We will be continuing our work on sentence and text structure, and improving our punctuation. We will be looking at writing non—chronological reports, as well as story writing, in particular writing our own Greek myths.
Maths
In Maths we will progress our work through the new Maths Essentials by Hertfordshire for Learning, covering rounding and estimating, formal written methods of calculating, and fractions.
Science
We will be starting a new unit in Science; Properties and Changes of Materials.
Other subjects
In Topic our focus for this term is Ancient Greece. We will be learning about the history, buildings, popular cultural traditions and many more. The children will have opportunities to test their creativity by creating Ancient Greek pots.
Homework
Homework will be handed out every Tuesday and will consist of spellings, reading, maths and English. This will help to consolidate children’s learning. Homework is to be handed in on Tuesday and children will also have a spelling test on Fridays.
PE
Swimming has now finished, and PE will replace it on Fridays, with Game On continuing, but on a Tuesday. Please make sure your child has a full PE kit in school for the week.
Thank you
Mr Tipton
