Welcome to 5KC's Class Page
Our Year 5 team includes:
Mrs Kay & Mrs Chappell (5KC)
Miss LeCouteur (5L)
Mrs Lund and Mr H Johnson (Learning Assistants)
Curriculum:
This term we will begin our topic ‘Half the World Away?’ which is a geographical study of the continent of North America. This topic will be host to lots of map work and investigating and comparing locations in North America to those in the UK. We will also be exploring Space in our Science work and linking this with our Art to create spectacular display work.
English:
This term we will begin with a focus on The Wizard of Oz, which allows for exploration of using descriptive writing to create vivid imagery for a reader.
In reading, we will be studying the novel Holes by Louis Sachar as this is set in North America. The children will be focusing on retrieval skills to begin with, finding the key information from the text and copying the evidence to support the answer. Then, we will be exploring different techniques on how to answer more complicated inference questions.
Maths:
We will continue to explore the Year 5 AREs with a focus on many different place value and aritihmetic skills that we want the children to develop. We will look at the value of numbers and how to work out what each digit means in a number. The children will also be rounding numbers, ordering and comparing them. We aim to make Maths varied and active. We use games to practise concepts and the children love grappling with tricky concepts through their Maths Cats puzzles!
P.E:
Tuesday - Swimming
Thursday - Invasion Games
We will continue to post about our learning on Class Dojo so keep an eye out on there to see what we are up to. Please feel free to message us there too if you have any questions or concerns and we are always on the Year 5 ramp before and after school for a chat as well!
