Welcome to Class Five!
In Year Five, we will be building on of all the key skills taught so far. We will read a really extensive and exciting range of books taking us on a journey from Malawi via New York and Ancient Greece. We will experience an interesting range of excellence texts which will inspire us to write our own stories, setting descriptions, letters, newspaper reports and non-chronological reports.
We will draw links between the ancient cultures of the Maya and the Greeks. We will compare and contrast The Alps and oceans. We will develop our mathematical understanding and learn formal written for all four operations. We will investigate and test our scientific predictions involving properties of materials, living things as well as forces. We will be experiencing trips locally to Howsham Mill and further afield to Young Voices singing day in Sheffield.
Curriculum Overviews
In Year 5 we have been writing setting descriptions.
We worked hard to include expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials and onomatopoeias. Here are two examples of our brilliant work.
History
Our History topic is Ancient Mayans. We have made our own Mayan settlements based on what we have learnt in our topic so far.

Clay sculptures
We created our own Maya gods and goddesses and then sculpted them out of clay. A lick of paint ensured they were extremely colourful!
