Summer Term
Happy Summer Term! (Hopefully summer will arrive soon)
We hope you all had a lovely spring break and are starting to enjoy the lighter nights and ‘slightly’ warmer weather.
Before the Easter holidays, the children who went to Avon Tyrell had an amazing time and all thoroughly enjoyed themselves, as did the children who stayed behind at school. We will shortly be communicating a date when you will be able to come in and look at the photos and videos that were taken during the week. More to follow on that.
This term, in English, we are reading ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’. It’s about a boy (Ahmet) who is a refugee and has started at a new school. The children saw it as a stage show back in March, which has really helped their understanding. We will soon be writing a character description, an informal letter and a newspaper report to deepen our understanding of this book and to apply our learning. Later, we’ll be studying Shaun Tan’s wordless picture book, The Arrival.
In Maths, we have been learning about Statistics. We will soon be doing more work with geometry and fractions before spending a large part of the term Problem Solving using all 4 operations.
Here is a list of the topics we are learning at school this term:
- Art-Animals in their habitats’ (pen line drawing) Joanna Basford + Copacabana- Pop Art ICT – Lobo.
- Science-Properties, Materials and changes. Transparency, Opacity, Mixtures and Solutions + Study reflection and assessment.
- Geography – comparing Brazil (Rio De Janeiro) with Hampshire (Havant)
- Cosmic Geography– Rivers and water cycle.
- Cosmic History – Havant Spring
- Cosmic Science– Living things and habitats and Animals including Humans
- PE– Rounders, Dodgeball and Football.
- Computing– 3D modelling-Sketchup + condition switches between actions.
- RE– Umma- community in Islam + Leadership – Jesus as a leader.
- Spanish– My Town
- PSHE– Money.
- Music-Rap workshops (Music Fusion) & Mythical Creatures (Using glockenspiels and other percussion)
- DT– Electrical systems – Making a game.
The end of Year 5 is fast approaching. We will be working hard to get the children ready for their transition to Year 6 and hopefully enjoying some nice, warm weather.
We are looking forward to our trip to the beach and will also be holding a water based fun morning later in the term.
As usual, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email us at year5@warrenpark.hants.sch.uk or to call the school office to arrange a chat at an appropriate time.
Thank you for your continued support.
