Welcome to Year 5

 

Welcome to Term 4. We have a busy few weeks ahead of us. Our history topic this term is the Maya Civilisation and our English learning will be linked to it. We are reading a book called ‘The Rainmaker’, which was set during the Maya era, and using it to write an information text about
Mayan life.                                                                                                                       
In Maths, we are working on shape and are learning how to draw, measure and calculate angles. We will also cover position and direction. Our science topic this term is Materials and their Properties.                                
We will be conducting investigations, including which materials are the best thermal conductors and insulators.                                                                
In PE, we are looking forward to learning how to play cricket, practising new skills and playing some matches.                                                                    
In addition this term, 5P will be doing music and 5E will be learning how to create Stop Motion animations in Computing. We will also be using a range of media, to create artwork depicting the sea.

We had great fun dressing up during our Viking experience day!
