Maths
During our final term in maths we will be looking at a number of new topics and revisiting some old. We will examine number and place value; measure, fractions, geometry and ongoing calculation including multiplication, division, factors, and learning about prime numbers.
English
The children explore the Big Question: What makes someone a great explorer? They read the interactive eBook, and use other sources, to research challenges faced by explorers. They understand and explain different viewpoints. They look for evidence about what qualities successful explorers would need. They recap features of report texts and write an advert using persuasive language. They answer the Big Question, planning and writing a handbook for a new junior explorer.
Science
Yeo class will be looking at the topic- Animals: Human timeline
We will be exploring how humans change from a baby through to old age, including puberty, measurements of growth and gestation periods.
Geography Topic
This term, our geography topic looks at the oceans and asks the question: "Why do oceans matter?" We will be exploring where and what our biggest oceans are and how important they are for trade. We will examine the damage we are currently doing to our oceans, especially the Great Barrier Reef and coral bleaching - all because of climate change and the amount of plastic and rubbish that gets into our seas. Finally, as part of our school experiences, we will take part in a study that investigates how much rubbish we find on our beaches and how we can help clean them up.
Music
For another term, Y5 has had the opportunity to learn how to play drums supported by WEMA. They have done so well in learning the basics, and the lessons have been entertaining and fun. By the end of the term, they should be able to give a fantastic performance to show what they have learned.
