Year 5DE

In English we will be using the story ‘How To Train Your Dragon’ as our inspiration to support our writing. This term we will be exploring new writing concepts such as relative clauses, modal verbs, expanded noun phrases and using brackets and dashes for parenthesis.

In Maths, we are looking at place value, addition and subtraction.  In Year 5, we would expect all children to have a good knowledge of all the place value of numbers up to 1,000,000. We will then be using a variety of strategies to tackle different addition and subtraction questions. Please support your child at home with practising their timetables weekly by using TTRockstars.

In our reading lessons, we will be reading a variety of text types and books by different authors and answering a range of different question types. As reading plays an essential part in supporting your child’s progress in all subjects, your child needs to read daily for 10-15 minutes and discuss their reading with an adult. We ask that the children change their books weekly by bringing the books back to school and handing them to the teacher.

This term in Geography we will be learning about Europe. We will be learning about a range of different European countries as well as the different regions of Europe.

In History, this term we’re starting to learn about the Anglo Saxons. This is such an exciting and interesting topic that we’re sure the children will love learning about.

In Science, we are going to be learning about the different forces, this is an exciting unit filled with practical activities aimed at helping children understand how different forces effect the world around us.

We are looking forward to a fantastic term with your children.
