Year 5 - Paris and Berlin Class
Welcome to Year 5
Mr. Bird and Mrs. Gatter are delighted to be part of your child's learning experience this year as Paris Class and Berlin Class teachers. Mrs. Randle will also be supporting in our year group. We are always around to support both you and the children. If you need anything or you have any questions or queries please don't hesitate - pop in and speak to one of us!
Weekly timetable:
Below, you will find an example of our 'normal' weekly timetable. We will endeavour to keep to this, though as you know, school life can be variable and surprising, and we will let the children know of any changes in advance!
Term 1: Strange New Worlds
In this term, we will become astronauts in training who will look at the science and beauty of space.
In English lessons, we'll focus on creative story writing. We will also develop writing for fantasy narratives and writing to persuade.
We will explore digital art using vectors, during our computing lessons alongside sketching and different media techniques to create mood and feeling.
Our science focus to this term means we will delve into the phases of the moon and understand the relationship between different celestial bodies within our solar system.

Spellings
In order to better support our spellers, we will be completing a weekly spelling quiz on Friday mornings to help secure basic understanding.
As usual, children may require some extra assistance when learning the words as they will delivered in a contextually correct sentence – for example: “The children kept their shoes in a small box beneath the stairs”.
Their weekly results will be used as evidence to support their writing assessments at the end of the school year.
