Year 5
Happy New Year!
This term we will be studying the Maya Civilisation. We will learn about where the the Maya people lived and look at their amazing creations, like their spectacular buildings and think about how and when they lived.
In writing we will be using the book The Journey to the River Sea by Eva Ibbotson as a source to find out about equatorial rainforests and use this to inform our writing. We will expand our writing skills learning how to write reports, narrative and poetry.
Our science focus is on Animals Including Humans. So there is lots of information to recall and practise. As previously, the children may have some intermittent science projects to complete as part of homework.
In maths we are working on multiplication, division and fractions, keep practising multiplication tables.
Homework will be set every week and will include; reading, times tables practise, maths, spellings and comprehension.
Work on remembering your times tables. You can use TTRS or other online games.
Swimming will begin around February half term during our Friday morning PE session and continue until July.
