Welcome to Year 5
at St Anne’s Primary School
Hello and welcome to Year 5.
Teacher - Mrs Leeson
Teaching Assistant - Mrs Gough
Welcome back Year 5! We hope you had a wonderful half term break and are ready for lots of learning this term. We can’t wait to continue your learning journey with you all :)
In Writing, we will be exploring ‘The Darkest Dark’.
In our English lessons we will be looking at the book ‘The Darkest Dark’, a book inspired by the childhood of real-life astronaut, Commander Chris Hadfield. We will use this book to develop our grammatical and punctuation skills, leading up to writing our own biographies about Chris Hadfield.
In Reading, we will be sharing the book ‘Exploring Space’.
In our reading lessons, we will be working on the book ‘Exploring Space’. We will link this book to our book in our wiritng lessons and will Identify how language, structure and presentation contribute to meaning. We will also use the book to distinguish between fact and opinion- sharing our thoughts and ideas.
Maths
Multiplication and Division Fractions
We will continue our work on multiplication and division this term. We will practise short division and look at dividing larger numbers including division with remainders. We will then move back onto fractions and look at finding fractions of numbers.
In RE we will cover our topic ‘Galilee to Jersualem’, where we will begin by looking at the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount and we will consider the impact Jesus has on our own lives. We will learn about St Josephine Bakhita and how her life was transformed through Jesus. We will complete our learning by discussing the transfiguration and focusing on our very special prayer, the ‘Our Father’.
In RE, Year 5 will continue our new scheme of work ‘Vine and Branches’.
