Year 5 Malala & Darwin Classes
Welcome to Year 5!
Hello all and we hope you had an amazing Easter and are looking forward to a great final term in Year 5. We have many incredible things to look forward to in this final term. Remember, learning is cyclical and needs to be continued at home. We need your support, especially with homework, reading, spelling and multiplication tables and ensuring your children are present as much as possible.
Year 5 this year consists of:
5WB ( Malala class ) : Miss Bailey, Mrs Wooding and Mrs Hay
5C ( Darwin class) : Mr Copete, Mrs Birk and Mrs Hay.
PE days:
Malala class: weds and Thursday
Darwin class: Tuesday and Weds
We have many amazing things we are studying this term including reading the fantastic books 'Anne Frank's diary' and 'Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief'. In history we are looking at the ancient Greek civilisation and the children have already made some incredible home learning on this over the holiday. In science we are looking at materials and their properties and are excited to have a science road show visiting us on the 9th May to give an amazing demonstration to Years 4,5 and 6. ( photos to follow )
In RE we will be looking at what inspires us and in art and DT we will be investigating structures and making our own Greek temples.
We are hoping to re-organise a trip to Burnham Grammar for Years 5 and 6 to experience a science in a secondary school setting and a wonderful trip to Lego land where we will be using our skills learned in computing to practice coding. ( as well as maybe go on a ride or two )
