Hello and welcome to the Year 5 class page! This is where you will find all the information you need to know about what we will be doing in Year 5 this half term.
 

This half-term in year 5 we will be focusing our learning on finding out who was Tutankhamun and what the contents of his tomb reveal about the life of a Pharaoh and the beliefs of the Ancient Egyptians.
In English, we will start the term off by looking at the book ‘The Lost Happy Endings’ by Carol Ann Duffy and Jane Ray, which is a fantastic and magical tale about what happens when, one night, someone steals the happy endings to bedtime stories. It is up to Jub, the keeper of the happy endings, to save the day and ensure sweet dreams everywhere.
Our maths work will focus on long multiplication and division, before moving on to fractions and converting them into decimals and percentages. In our art lessons, we begin by exploring how the Space Race influences Art and architecture in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
Coach Thomas will be teaching us badminton in PE on Wednesdays and in our Friday PE lessons we will be involved in invasion games which will develop our problem-solving skills, communication and teamwork. In Spanish we will be continuing to learn Spanish shapes and colours, then moving on to objects you may find in the classroom throughout the term.
Mr Martin and Mrs Higson will be in school on Friday mornings to continue developing our music skills and preparing us for the music performances that are planned for later in the year.
We have a lot to look forward to this half term, so please visit this page regularly to see our learning journey.
