Term 6

Dear parents and carers

What makes the Earth angry?

Our topic this term is all about ‘What makes the Earth angry?’ We will be spending time looking at a range of natural disasters and their causes and effects. We will be experiencing the heat of a wildfire, seeing the effects of a Tsunami and much more!

English and Maths

Our English lessons will be linked to our topic as usual. We will be researching the causes and effects of wildfires, volcanoes, earthquakes, floods and hurricanes. We will be using our knowledge to write a survivor’s diary entry, create a hurricane survival guide, create volcano haikus, and write a persuasive letter regarding climate change and its effects of natural disasters.

In Maths, we will be looking at decimals before moving on to negative numbers and converting units.

Year 5 Bike-ability

Friday 11^th July: Please ensure your child has a fully working bike that fits them as well as a helmet.

Other Subjects Science: Summer Investigations- Outdoor learning links/ recap prior knowledge Art/DT: Volcano paper Mache/ watercolour washes/ Nature sketches/ 3D modelling PE: Athletics and Rounders RE: Islam

PE sessions will take place on Wednesdays and Fridays. PE lessons will be taking place outside as well as in the hall so please ensure your child has the appropriate P.E kits to change into. This needs to be separate to their usual uniform for safety and hygiene reasons.

Children will also need to bring a water bottle to school as we will take this outside on the days of our PE lessons.  

Homework: I have received some amazing homework so far this year and I am excited to see what you produce this term. Please ensure you use the homework books to document you work as much as possible.
