Year 5 2020 - 2021

Welcome to Year 5's class page! 

It has been fantastic to have everyone back in school and we have already begun learning about the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings. During this term we will complete our Anglo-Saxon topic and also explore the Amazon. 

We will be learning to play the Ukulele and enjoy P.E with the Lancashire Sports Partnership.

Autumn 2

The children all enjoyed completing their Bikeability at the end of last half term. It was a pleasure to hear the Bikeability staff complement their positive attitudes, perseverance and behaviour.

During this half term, Year 5 will be exploring the Amazon!  We will be creating our own magazine articles about the Amazon basin and developing our geography knowledge.  Towards the end of half term, we will be reading 'Journey to the Riversea' by Eva Ibbotson and then writing our own adventure story set in the Amazon rainforest. 

In Maths, we will begin looking at fractions and consolidate our written and mental methods for multiplication and division.  

Timestables practice pages

To help with practicing their timestables, these 2 websites are set up in a very similar way to the actual test. Once your child is confident you always try decreasing the time you give them - or challenge them yourself to see who is the fastest!
