   Autumn 1

Religious Education

In R.E. this half-term we will focus on the Old Testament including the creation of Earth, the life and importance of Moses, Abraham and also Noah.

Class Worship

We enjoy class worship as this allows us to reflect as a class on the aspects of the Gospel and specifically share our own thoughts, feelings and opinions.

Maths

We always start our maths in a new group by focussing on place value and in Year 5 looking at numbers up to a million.

English

With English we recap prior learning and look at basic sentence structures, word class and standard English. This half-term we will look at creating a story setting, based on the book: The Nowhere Emporium.

Science

Year 5 are looking at solids, liquids and gases and their properties. 

History

This half-term Year 5 is looking at the Anglo-Saxons, briefly learning about the Romans and their demise, where the Anglo-Saxons originated from and how the Vikings then invaded, centuries later, which led to the fall of the Anglo-Saxons.

Art

We have an exciting topic this half-term based on the artist Elizabeth Catlett, learning about her background and how she influenced the art world through her sculptures, line drawings and paintings. We have started to look at the use of lines and shading.

Spanish

This half-term we are looking at the weather in Spanish.

Music

Fridays are always something we look forward to, having music with Mr Edge. He brings out the best in children and develops harmonious singing.
