Year 5

Welcome to Year 5

 

The year 5 team is as follows:
5GS - Miss Stone
5KS - Mrs Spinks
5L - Miss Lambeth
In addition, Mrs Allen and Mrs Peacock will be available to support learning.

We are very excited about the year ahead; we have a range of interesting topics which we are sure will engage all pupils.
In the autumn term, science will involve jetting off into space, exploding rockets and flying helicopters.
In history, we will be learning about the power of Tudor monarchs, the dispute between Henry VIII and The Pope, as well as every day life for the peasantry.
Geography will encompass the study of energy sources and their impact on the environment.

Homework:
During the six-week holiday, we would like you carry out research on the solar system to share with your peers in the first week of the new school year. This can be:
⁃ an in-depth study of one of the planets
⁃ an overview of more than one planet
⁃ information about astronauts, e.g. Tim Peake
⁃ the history of moon landings as it is the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing
⁃ stars and constellations
You may present your findings in a variety of ways, such as:
⁃ mobile or other model
⁃ report/newspaper article
⁃ poster
⁃ interview
⁃ diary/journal
⁃ story/narrative
⁃ poem

We are looking forward to seeing how your showcase your independent learning.
