This term, Year 5 are studying a new topic, ‘The Maya Civilisation’ in which we will learn about the Maya civilisation and then compare them to the Anglo-Saxons in Britain who were living at the same time. Our Science lessons will be biology based, learning about ‘Animals, including humans’ and then moving on to physics with ‘Forces’, in which we will have the opportunity to carry out some practical investigations into forces such as gravity.
Our English lessons will be focusing on the children becoming journalists to write a detailed newspaper report about a key, newsworthy event. We will also be reading Romeo and Juliet and retelling the story as a play script. In Maths, we will continue to look at fractions and then move on to decimals and percentages.
We are continuing our ‘Reading a Range’ challenge where children need to read the next line of books to achieve their Silver and Gold reading band. Children will need to achieve this by Easter.
