Year 5

Welcome to Year 5! We hope everyone has had a wonderful summer and is ready for an exciting year. 

This half term, we will be exploring some interesting topics across the curriculum. In English, we will be developing our poetry, descriptive and persuasive writing skills through The Carnival of the Animals and One Plastic Bag. In Maths, we will focus on place value, numbers up to one million, addition and subtraction, rounding and statistics.

In Science, we will investigate forces, including gravity, friction, air resistance and water resistance. In History, we will travel back in time to explore the Anglo-Saxons and what life was like during this period.

Our PSHE theme is Being in My World, where we will explore rights, responsibilities, teamwork and our role within our school community.

Our value this half term is Respect and we will encourage the children to show respect for themselves, each other and the wider school community.

We are looking forward to a fantastic half term of learning.

Kind regards,
Miss Carroll and Mrs Santangelo
