Year 5

Welcome to Year 5

Miss Peacock and Mrs Okon make up our Year 5 Team

Autumn term 2024

English

This half term we will be looking at the book 'Nothing stopped Sophie' as part of our aspirations work. We will then move on to 'Sky song' by Abi Elphinstone for our narrative work as well as looking at non-chronological reports. We will be building our bank of descriptive and vocabulary and learning how to use different sentence types. 

Maths

We will be starting the half term with decimal fractions. Within this unit we will explore tenths, hundredths and thousandths and we will also use column addition and subtraction. We will also look at money, where we will focus on pounds and pence as well as comparing amounts of money.

We will be doing a lot of work on times tables and it would be great if you could encourage your child to continue this at home. www.ttrockstars.com is a fantastic website for times table games and all the children have logins.

Theme

Our challenge question this half term is what are the differences between the Arctic and Antarctica. Within our topic we will be enriching our geographical skills learning about zones of the earth.
