Year 5 2020 - 2021

Welcome to Year 5's class page!

I am missing having you all in class but enjoying seeing everyone for our live lessons each day.

During the Spring term, we will become space explorers. We will be learning about our solar system and will also create our own science fiction narrative.

In maths, we will develop our understanding of written methods for multiplication and division and further our knowledge and understanding of fractions.

History will follow the Shang Dynasty. We will think about how this ancient civilisation fits in to what we know about British history and our understanding of chronology. We will investigate how we know about the past and think about the reliability of sources.

Also, during the first half term, we are very lucky to be able to learn some Mandarin. I am also excited about this as it will be something new for me to learn too!

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!
