A warm welcome back to everyone after the summer holidays I am looking forward to having you all in Year 5!

Here is a snapshot of what we will be covering this term:

Maths/Mathemateg: 

Every term we practice place value, mental and written methods linked to the four number operations. Problem solving and reasoning skills are threaded through all maths lessons.

We are particularly focusing on numbers to 100 000 and rounding this term.

If you want to help your child at home they can practice their times tables (2-12) and place value to 100 000.

Inquiry Based Learning:

This term we are undertaking an expressive arts inquiry.

Our big question is ’How do filmmakers tell stories about who we are and what matters to us?' We will be focusing on film and digital media.

Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Geography, digital competance and History will all be studied throughout this inquiry.
