Venus Class - Year Five

Mon to Wed - Mrs Gibbons

Thurs and Fri - Mr Jones

All day Mon/Thurs and Fri morning Mrs Ritchie

We are exceptionally excited for tomorrow and the beginning of a new learning journey. Hope you all enjoyed a fantastically adventurous and action packed Summer, filled with sunshine and laughter.

Our writing premise, across the course of the next few weeks, will be guided by the featured book above. We will also explore other fascinatingly imaginative books written and illustrated by the Fan Brothers, including Lizzy and the Cloud. 

Creative flair and figurative language will tumble off the page, as we write about or replicate elements of the book above.

We will be absorbed in the following book throughout our class reading this term.

Our maths learning will commence with an investigation into place value, comparing and ordering numbers, that include up to 7 digits! Undoubtedly, there will also be a large degree of delving into calculating, percentages and fractions. 

Ancient Greece will became the centre of our historical and geographical attention, throughout the course of this term. From the Minoan and Mycenaean civilisations to the exploits and achievements of Alexander the Great.

Science... can you guess what our learning will involve?

PE - is on a Wednesday afternoon. Please remember to wear black shorts, red PE t-shirt, trainers and red hooded top, if needed.

Spellings - will be given out on a Thursday and tested on the following Thursday. Please ensure the blue spelling book is returned each week on  Monday. Please access Spelling Shed to practice spellings, at least four times a week.  

Reading - as much as possible at home, at least four times a week. Please record reading in Reading Record.
