In Spring term 1, we will be reading, 'Rooftoppers' by Katherine Rundell. The children will be focusing on writing to inform and entertain by planning richly-detailed newspaper articles and setting descriptions.
Our topics in Maths are: Long division, Worded Maths Problems, Graphs and Fractions.
We will be learning about the Ancient Maya Civilisation, linking these to our golden threads. In Science we will be learning about Space. Year 5 have the Planetarium visiting, which will give the children a hands-on and virtual experience exploring the different planets.
In P.E. this half-term we will be developing skills in Yoga - looking at balancing, strength and flexibility and in Games - Volleyball.
We are also fortunate to have Forest School embedded into our curriculum this year, children will learn practical, transferable skills and get to enjoy time working with others outside of the classroom.
Important information:
Spellings will be sent out on Mondays to practise at home before the test on the following Monday. Current spellings can be found online on the link to the right. Maths home learning is set on Wednesday and due back by the following Monday. We also strongly encourage the children to read at least three times a week at home and have their reading record filled in and signed at least once a week. We also encourage regular practise of times tables using Times Tables Rockstars (See link below):

Please make sure you have your PE kits in school for our sporting activities: both classes have lessons on Monday and Thursday. Please send your child to school in their kit on their PE day, and make sure all earrings are removed or covered with tape before school on these days.
We look forward to working with you and your children throughout this school year.
