Welcome back to the final term of Year 5! I hope you have all enjoyed a relaxing Easter break and are ready for even more exciting events and learning. Our topic this term is ‘It’s a Wonderful World’. In Science, we will be learning about the difference in the lifecycles of a mammal, amphibian, insect and a bird. There will be lots of opportunities for investigation, including the lifecycle of a butterfly and the conditions needed to grow plants. We will be having fun in Art again this term as we are having a go at making a collage and printing which will be linked to our work in Geography (Mapping the World). In History we will be talking about The Shang Dynasty, When and where the Shang Dynasty existed, what life was like living in the Shang Dynasty times and their Gods and kings. We will still be visiting the library and will also take a walk following a map in the second half term so lots of opportunities to be outside.
