We’re looking forward to an exciting and purposeful Spring Term in Year 5, full of rich learning opportunities across the curriculum.
In English, pupils will explore two powerful texts: The Journey by Francesca Sanna and The Dam by David Almond. These thought-provoking stories will inspire deep discussion and support children in developing their comprehension, inference, and descriptive writing skills, while exploring themes of resilience, courage, and change.
In Numeracy, our learning will focus on Multiplication and Division, followed by Fractions. Children will build fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving skills as they deepen their understanding of these key mathematical concepts.
Our wider curriculum continues to offer engaging learning experiences.
In Science, pupils will investigate the Properties of Materials, exploring how materials are used and why their properties make them suitable for different purposes.
In Geography, we’ll study the United Kingdom, focusing on its human and physical features and developing our map and locational knowledge.
In RE, we will learn about Sikhism, exploring how the first five Sikh Gurus shaped the religion and its key beliefs and values. This unit will encourage thoughtful reflection and respectful discussion.
In Computing, children will continue to develop their Digital Literacy skills, with a strong focus on E-Safety to help them navigate the online world responsibly and confidently.
PE lessons will centre around Dance, allowing pupils to express themselves creatively while improving coordination, control, and teamwork.
We look forward to a busy and rewarding term ahead and thank you, as always, for your continued support.
