Key Information

Homework

All children in Year 5 are expected to complete their homework every night. This includes

• reading in a quiet place for 20 minutes per day
• practising times tables and related division facts (your children will know which ones they need to practise)
• learning spellings by logging in to their Spelling Frame account

Class Charter

In class, we have been thinking about our rights. We started the year by focusing on Article 28 'Access to Education' and we considered as a class what the Duty Bearers (adults) and the Rights Holders (children) need to do to ensure that every child in 5MA has access to the education they deserve. 

We all agreed that we will uphold our responsibilities on our Class Charter. 

British Values

As British citizens, we know the difference between right and wrong and we respect people's different opinions and choices. These are known as British Values. 

In school, we promote all of the British Values:

-The Rule of Law

-Democracy

-Individual Liberty

-Mutual Respect and Tolerance

We look at a different value each week during Collective Worship and we share our opinions and listen to the views of others.

Autumn 1

Our study this half term will focus on the traditional writing of Legends. We will study a traditional story, 'The Legend of Gelert', and will write our own legend narrative using the structures and features of this traditional text. 

We will then produce an information text booklet about the achievements and the significance of the Ancient Greeks that will link to our History learning. 

As mathematicians, we will begin our Year 5 learning by exploring Place Value. We will review how to read and write numbers to 100,000 and then move on to compare 6 digit numbers using bar models. We will learn about number patterns and how to round numbers. 

As scientists, we will learn about the effects of different forces and assess their impact in our lives. We  carry out experiments to discover the effects of these forces. 

As historians, our study this half term will focus on the Ancient Greek civilisation and their significant achievements that still impact us today. 

Our unit of study this half term will focus on Christianity and God. We will explore the beliefs and values that Christians hold dear and see that living religious traditions they ascribe to.

In PSHCE this half term, we are looking at respectful relationships and will identify what makes a healthy and happy relationship. We will explore the relationships we have with our families and those who care for us.

As artists, our work will link to the Ancient Greeks and our History unit. We will study ancient Greek art and design, producing our own version of this style using drawing, painting and digital imagery.
