Autumn Term

During our Autumn term in Year 5 we study lots of exciting topics. Our Power of Reading texts are Treason and Moon Juice.  We spend lots of time improving our Maths skills of number, place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division as well as looking at fractions and measurement.  In Science we explore our Material world before moving on to Space.  In History we will be studying The Tudors and after half term we will switch to Geography looking at The Americas.  In Spanish, we will be learning how to say the date and in RE we will be looking at how light is used as a symbol in some religious celebrations, particularly in Judasism.  Our Art looks at the work of Arcimboldo, a Tudor artist.  Our PSHE looks at answering the question 'What makes up a person's identity?'  Our Chromebooks are continually put to good use in our Computing topics of 'We are Game Developers' and 'We are VR Architects'. Finally, we make sure to keep our bodies moving by looking Netball and Tag Rugby in PE.
