Welcome to Year 5. Our class teacher is Mr Peltier and our support staff are Mrs Adderley and Miss Conroy.

Summer Term

Our key texts this term are:

As readers, we are learning to predict, retrieve and explore the characteristics of an explorer using contrasting text types.

As writers,  we are learning how to plan and write a well-structured biography, sustain the third person and add additional information using relative clauses.

As mathematicians, we are learning how to understand and use degrees, classify angles, estimate and measure angles and calculate lengths and angles in shape.

As scientists, we are exploring the topic of Earth and Space. We will be learning how to describe the movement of the Earth and other planets relative to the sun in the solar system.

As theologists, we are looking at the question 'why some people believe in God and some do not?' We will also be exploring the different ways that Christians believe in God and the disagreements that exist.

As geographers, we are learning to use OS maps and take part in field work. We will understand how contour lines and scale is used to show the landscape.

As historians, we are exploring  the significant events in Mayan’s history, answering the question, what did the Mayans invent?

Home Reading

We choose our own Accelerated reader books and aim to read them at home 5 nights a week. When we finish our book, we can take a quiz either at home or at school. So far this year as a class, we have read:

8,889,52 words

Our target is:

10,000,000 words

Dojo points:   
The children work incredibly hard each week outside and inside of school to earn Dojo points. Children who earn a total of 50 points per week are rewarded with Golden Time on a Friday afternoon. Points are allocated for effort in class, being kind to others, attendance, correct uniform, reading at home and completing homework. Please help to support your child in reaching their goal of 50 points!
