Year 5
Welcome to Year 5
Welcome to Year 5! After a very different year, we are over the moon to be welcoming you all back to school. We have lots of fun plans for this year, and are so excited to get stuck into our learning. Mr Napier and Mrs Duboisson are really looking forward to getting to know you, and I am delighted to be spending another year with you! There is a letter coming out this week (we will also upload it here) packed full of vital information, so please read it carefully, and let us know if you have any queries.
This term our topic is 'Earth, Space and Beyond'. In Science we will start off by studying Earth and the solar system. Soon our young scientists will aim to explore light and colour right across the spectrum! We have already begun to step back in time in a voyage of discovery with the ancient Maya civilisations and are digging deep in world of biographies.
Have a go at these tasks at home, if you would like to.
The first task is the instructions for Hubbub, the traditional Native American game played by the Wampanoag people. Use the game pieces we made in school, you will just need to ask your grown ups for a bowl.
The second task is a talking activity, based on the recent achievements of Marcus Rashford.
Remembrance - Eleventh hour, on the Eleventh day of the Eleventh month: To remember all those fallen in the line of duty to their country during conflict and wars, Year 5 have made poppy covered letters, archive photographic collage and written out various Armistice poems this week.
