Autumn Term
In the first part of the Autumn Term, Year 5 is studying a topic which focuses on rivers, entitled 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head'. We are using a cross-curricular approach to make this unit of work an exciting learning experience.
Our Literacy unit is based around historical literature and we are studying 'Treasure Island' by Robert Louis Stevenson. In Literacy, we have written newspaper recounts detailing the discovery of Ben Gunn and are writing diary entries as Jim Hawkins, the story's main character.
In Numeracy our focus is knowledge of place value; multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 (including decimals). We have already applied this to real life situations involving money. We are also consolidating our knowledge of formal written methods of calculation which includes addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
In Science our topic is 'States Of Matter' where we are developing our scientific skills to investigate and observe changes from solid to liquid to gas using various methods (including drama!). This is reflected in our approach to dance which is our current unit in PE, where we are creating and performing river-inspired movement pieces.
In Art, Design and Technology the children are designing, making and evaluating shelters simulating survival on a desert island.
Our PSHE is centring on making a positive start to the year and developing collaborative relationships. RE has continued this theme by reflecting on Christianity and friendships.
