First Week in Year 5
It has been a fantastic first week back with so much being learnt by the class, already. Not only have the children been learning but the class team have been able to find out a lot of fun facts about each individual inside the class. Personally, I can't wait to work through the academic year and push the children to the highest possible place that they could possibly reach in whatever subject they want to thrive in.
Below, you'll find a list of topics that the children will be learning in Term 1 across the national curriculum.
English - A Midsummer Night's Dream/Kensuke's Kingdom
Science - Forces
Geography - Geographical and Locational Knowledge
RE - The Creation
Art - Painting Skills
French - Do You Have a Pet?
Computing - Coding
Keep an eye on the Year 5 class pages, through the academic year, for up-to-date pictures and work from a range of different subjects.
Thank you,
Mr Tickner, Mrs Ware & Mrs Whittaker
