Welcome to Year Five Rowan Class

This half term we will centre our learning around the theme of ‘The Anglo-Saxons: So, how dark were the dark ages really?’. We will start the half term with science, where we will be looking at materials as we answer our inquiry question; ‘Are all materials the same?’

We have lots of opportunities planned, including den building. The children will plan, experiment and evaluate their own dens. In our literacy lessons we will be reading the story ‘The cottage in the woods’. Over the coming weeks, we will be learning, innovating and creating our very own setting descriptions of this story.

In maths we will be continuing to look at multiplication and division using the formal written method. In PE we will be developing our understanding of dances around the world and having a final performance. Towards the end of the half term, we will be completing our DT unit, which is textiles planning, creating and evaluating cushions.

Children will bring home their homework sheet at the start of this half term and can be found at the bottom of our website page.

Maple have P.E on Tuesday and Friday each week, please ensure that your child’s kit is in school each day.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mrs Bird and Mrs Walters
