Current Learning…

This half – term, our Cornerstones topic is called ‘Off with her head!’ This is primarily history – based and focuses on aspects of life during the Tudor times. We are learning about the famous Henry VIII and his 6 wives and will be exploring Tudor fashions, dances, sketches and portraits and the ghastly styles of Tudor punishments, alongside a wide variety of other areas. We will cover a range of curriculum areas including history, art, P.E, PSHE, music and geography. We are also currently producing cross – curricular writing based around biographies of Henry V111, Anne Boleyn and Thomas Cromwell.

English…

In English, we follow Novel study. Our current novel is a children’s version of Macbeth, which our pupils are enthralled with! We have a weekly ‘carousel lesson’ which covers a rich variety of texts that link into our model and we study new vocabulary, text annotation and summarising and SATS style comprehension questions. We are currently creating a diary style piece of writing based around the events during Macbeth which encompasses a multitude of the Year 5 National Curriculum grammar objectives. We will also shortly be studying Macbeth in play script form, whilst comparing and contrasting it to the novel version.

Mastery Maths…

This half – term, we have already covered area and perimeter and have just started a large unit on fractions and decimals. During daily Maths Meetings, we revisit and consolidate our prior knowledge of different areas of Maths which have been taught previously. During these sessions, we enjoy mixing around, working collaboratively using different ‘Kagan’ strategies – and we also enjoy the music that is played during this time!

For RE we will be studying Islam and the celebration of Eid al Fitr.

Home leaning…

In Year 5, we encourage a degree of independence. Pupils are expected to bring their diaries as they are checked each day. Homework is to be completed by deadlines and there is an expectation that pupils begin to take responsibility for bringing their P.E kits, swimming kits, packed lunches etc.

Topic/foundation homework is given out each half term. Pupils have a list of homework ideas glued in their homework books. They are free to choose any 3 of these homeworks and they are to be completed and handed in by the end of that particular half term. We love the creative pieces that we receive!

Maths homework is currently in the process of being updated to a new, online facility called ‘Eedi,’ details of which will be sent out to parents in due course.

Spellings are given out weekly each Monday, then tested the following Monday. These also link in with our novel study.

Pupils are expected to read 5 times a week at home. Diaries are checked each Friday for ‘Reader Leader.’ Those pupils achieving this receive tokens and treats!
