Welcome to Year 4 with Mrs Higham- What a full fun packed year we have ahead
I do hope you've all had a fabulous Whit holiday, and the children are raring for our final term in Year 4. This... more
Welcome back to Spring Term 2 in Year 5 where our topic "Why should the world's rainforests matter to all of us?" continues, in our attempt to explore the impact of climate change. This term we will focus on presenting an assembly to Key Stage 2, to impart Year 5's new found knowledge about this growing problem. We will explore Greta Thunberg's book about her own efforts to help the planet and we will continue to read the award winning novel "The Explorer" by Katherine Rundell. The class will write their own adventure narratives about being stranded in the Rainforest, with a focus on direct and indirect speech to aid their grammar skills.
PE this term will be on Tuesdays and Fridays (Cricket and the Haka Dance) so please ensure that both indoor and outdoor kits are in school. Have a look at our Medium Term Plan below for this topic where you will find other activities planned for all areas of the curriculum. You will also find the Challenge Home Learning grid for Year 5 which contains activities to complete at home if your child wishes to do something extra, together with details of this half term's Creative Homework "Biome" project, which is a key feature of our Year 5 Geography curriculum.
Thank you for all your support last half term - the endangered animal projects were absolutely brilliant and we learnt so much about different species!
Thank you
Mrs Blomeley
