Spring Term

During our Spring term in Year 5 we study lots of exciting topics. Our Power of Reading texts are The London Eye Mystery and The Adventures of Odysseus.  We spend lots of time improving our Maths skills of measurement, properties of shape, position and direction and statistics.  In Science we explore forces in Let’s Get Moving and then later this term Amazing Changes.  In Geography we will be studying oceans and after half term we will switch to History looking at The Ancient Greeks.  In Spanish, we will be learning how to describe the weather and in RE we will be looking at celebrations related to key figures and continuing our learning on Judaism.  Our Art looks at the work of MC Escher and the art of the London Underground.  Our PSHE looks at answering the questions ‘What jobs would we like?’ and ‘How can friends communicate safely?’  Our Chromebooks are continually put to good use in our Computing topics with an introduction to Vector graphics followed by Flat-file databases. Finally, we make sure to keep our bodies moving with football, gymnastics and dance in PE this term.
