Welcome to Year 5 everyone. I am really looking forward to this year, especially as I have had the pleasure of teaching most of you before.  I hope you have all had a restful summer and are ready to start learning with our exciting new curriculum. Our topic this term is 'Change'. In History, we will be focussing on how crime and punishment has changed over the years, this could be quite gory at times! We will also be discussing change in Science and will be linking our Geography to this topic later in the term. In Maths we will be focussing on place value to start with and moving on to the basic operations later in the term. It would be useful if you could continue to work on your times tables and reading daily during the year which will also be supported by regular trips to the library. Please remember to sign and return the forms as soon as possible.

In English we have been focussing on suspense writing. Here are some of the ideas we had on how to create a 'Spooky' setting. 

We have also been practising the story by using actions to help us remember the text.

We were so lucky to have 'Road Safety' visit us at school this week. We had a discussion about how to stay safe and we also had the opportunity to practise outside!
