Wonder, Believe, Shine & Achieve - Welcome to Year 5!
Summer Term
This term in Year 5 we will explore the ancient world of the Aztecs. Through ‘Mantle of the Expert’, the children will be commissioned to be Tour Operators to create a range of literature to entice tourists back to Mexico since the hurricane disaster. Most of our key learning will link to this throughout our writing, history, geography, ICT, art and D and T.
In RE, we will delve deeper into ‘Pentecost’ - the Holy Spirit’s transformative power and how the Spirit can guide us in our daily lives. Then during our topic on ‘Freedom and Responsibility’ we will continue to remember, celebrate and respond to the understanding that freedom involves responsibility and God’s rules for living freely and responsibly – the Commandments.
In Maths, we will develop our knowledge and understanding of decimals, percentages, graphs and tables as well as area and perimeter. We will continue to develop our learning in all four number operations and deepen our understanding of fractions and geometry.
In Science, we will study ‘Living things and their habitats’, where we learn about the differences and similarities of life cycles and ‘Forces’, where we will deepen our knowledge of friction, air resistance and water resistance.
We look forward to an engaging and thought-provoking term ahead!
