Welcome back after the Christmas break Year 5! This will be another exciting and eventful term, packed with so many fun things to learn about. Our topic this term is ‘New Horizons’. In English, we will be looking at action scenes so we will have lots of discussions about how we can portray movements in our writing. Our Science topic is ‘Earth and Space’ which I am sure you will all enjoy. In Art/DT we will be making Mayan masks which is linked to our History where we are studying the Mayan Civilisation. Don’t forget we will be continuing with swimming this term too so do not forget your swimming things every Monday! A very busy term for us all but full up with lots of great things to do and learn about.
