Welcome to Palm Class!

This half term we will centre our learning around the theme of ‘Shake, Rattle and Roll’. We will start the half term with science, where we will be looking at Space as we answer our inquiry question; 

“Why does the Earth move?” 

We have lots more exciting opportunities planned, including a Space Dome experience. This term in Year 5, we’ll blast off into our Space topic, exploring the planets in order. We’ll discover how the Earth, Sun, and Moon orbit each other to create day, night, and the changing seasons. This half term, our writing lessons will focus on developing our grammar and punctuation skills. Towards the end of the half term, we will be creating dragon eyes using clay. 

 In Maths, we will begin with place value exploring numbers up to 1,000,000 before moving on to addition and subtraction. Our P.E. lessons this half term will focus on developing our skills in tag rugby including passing, catching and evasion.  

Palm Class has P.E. on Wednesday and Thursday each week; please ensure that your child’s kit is in school each day. 

 Thank you for your continued support.
