Welcome to Year 5

Mr Pichowski 

The year 5 children have settled well into their new classes and are looking forward to a year of positive learning experiences and new challenges as they begin their journey in Upper Key Stage 2.

In English, we are focusing our writing on our class reading text ‘The Nowhere Emporium’; we are learning to use descriptive language techniques to describe fantasy settings and a variety of characters.

We are working on place value in Maths and are extending our knowledge of numbers up to one million.

Our history topic for the next two terms is ‘The Anglo-Saxon and Viking Conflict’. We are starting our learning with the enquiry question: ‘Who were the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings and why did they invade and settle in Britain?’ In term 2, we have the Living History Workshops group coming into school to provide the children with an opportunity to experience what life was like for the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings.

In Science this term, we are learning about ‘Animals including Humans’. We will be looking at and comparing the life cycles of a range of animals and learning about some of the changes that happen during puberty.

We are also making bridges in Design Technology and taking part in Outdoor Adventurous Activities(OAA) in PE, as part of our new, exciting year 5 curriculum.
