Year 5

Welcome to Year 5

Meet the Team

Our topic this term is …

Who are the real leaders of the space race?

Our class novel this half term:  Cosmic by Frank Cottrell-Boyce

Our behaviour focus:

• Team Stop 
• Wonderful Walking in corridors
• Lining up after breaks and lunchtimes

Maths Focus: 

• Statistics - read and interpret line graphs and tables including timetables
• Fractions - convert improper fractions and mixed numbers, add and subtract a range of different fractions, find a fraction of an amount and multiply fractions.

English Focus: 

• Our focus this term begins with narrative writing. We will explore the use of relative clauses and revisit fronted adverbials to help children create story openers.
• Following this, we will transition to non-fiction as we write non-chronological reports about the solar system. During this unit, students will build upon their knowledge of coordinating conjunctions and learn how to use parenthesis to provide precise, technical information about the planets.
