Autumn Term 2023 - Welcome Back!
Welcome back to Year 5. We've gopt lots of exciting thing happening this half term so make sure to check back for regular updates and to find out what we've been upto!
A little bit about what'll be happening this half term...
Maths
We follow the White Rose scheme for maths and take a mastery approach to teaching and learning. We focus on fluency, reasoning and problem solving; allowing children to become confident with concepts and then apply them in different contexts.
When introducing a new concept we follow a 'Concrete - Pictorial - Abstract' approach to support understanding and learning.
This term Year 5 will be learning:
Number: Place Value
Number: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division
Number: Fractions
English
This term we will be using 'Cogheart' by Peter Buzl to inspire our writing in different genres.
The Wider Curriculum
It's so important to us for our children to learn a broad and balanced curriculum.
This half term Year Five will explore what life was like as an Anglo-Saxon. They will find out about the food they ate and take part in Masterchef: Anglo-Saxon, become an Anglo-Saxon fashion designer, designing clothes of the period and even begin to write as an Anglo-Saxon.
