Year 5 2019-2020

Welcome to Year 5!

Mr Mulkerrin, Mrs Coulthard, Mrs Ormerod and Mr Whittaker are looking forward to the final leg of our great year in your journey of learning. 

Please remember  P.E kits are still needed in school as we are still having our weekly P.E lessons.

This is the last week of Forest Schools, we've had lots of fun along the way and learnt lots of practical skills and how teamwork really does pay off to get results. As always children will only be able to attend if they have written consent and will continue to attend as long as school behaviour rules are followed.

Year 5 will continue to have keyboard music lessons every Monday.

Homework is given out every friday and is expected to be returned by Tuesday every week.

Maths

We are currently working on fractions and now moving onto decimals and percatages and the relationship between them. 

 Year 5 have also been leaning arithmetic methods which are helping them improve and practise their written methods for calculations. Homework continues to be given with different work sheets on timestables to ensure that they are all comfortable and can work out equations up to x12. 

English

In English we will be looking at debate writing and how dirty Palm oil is affecting the habitats of animals in Asia and what we can do to help as consumers.

Topic

In Topic we are learning about the Ancient Greeks and what we know about different aspects of their society and lives.

Science 

In Science we are looking in more detail at reversible and irreversible changes and  also Scientific enquiry and skills.
