Class 5
If you wish to know further information relating to the curriculum in Class 5 please do not hesitate to speak to Miss Gill, the class teacher via Class Dojo.
English
Our topic for Spring Term 1 is ‘Heroes and Villains’ so our theme will be based on books with these sorts of characters. Our class will be looking at Macbeth, with some reading and writing outcomes. As you aware, it is very important that your child/children read regularly at home. At school, we suggest that this is for around 15 minutes per evening, and this will support the 20 books in 2020 Challenge set for Class 5 children. Alongside this, we would suggest 3 Read Theories per day, whilst your child is learning remotely. Thank you for your assistance in supporting this.
Maths
We will be looking at Place Value, 2D Shape, Coordinates, Fractions, Division and Multiplication in maths in Spring 1. Quick recall is vital for this; therefore, children should be practising their times tables and number facts frequently at home, alongside the use of Times Table Rockstars.
Religious Education
We will be focusing on ‘Jesus, the Bread of Life’ in RE this half term.
Science
We will be learning about plant and animal lifecycles. This topic will look at why plants have flowers, the lifecycle of an amphibian, why birds lay eggs and how plants and animals’ life cycles differ.
French
French will be led by Miss England based upon the topic of ‘All about me’.
Physical Education
.Whilst children take part in remote learning, PE will be delivered through online websites e.g. Super Movers and Joe Wicks. As a school, we encourage children to be active daily.
Geography
In geography, learning will be about North America: looking at physical and human features alongside the climate of the area.

Anti- Bullying
Children in Year 5/6 have covered a series of Anti-Bullying sessions with Phil. We learnt about self defence, types of bullying, and how we can trust our eyes, ears and emotions. One pupil said 'I enjoyed having Phil and I now know what to do if I ever get bullied'.
