Curriculum Information
See below for what Year 5 are learning about during Autumn 2:
English: Beowulf and Bethlehem - Through Michael Morpurgo’s Beowulf, the children will practice linking paragraphs seamlessly, using descriptive language, and applying a range of punctuation to enhance their writing. We will also be exploring poetic devices, mimicking the style of Bethlehem.
Maths: Multiplication and Division – We will be learning about factors, multiples, prime numbers, square and cube numbers, and also how to multiply and divide by 10,100 and 1000.
RE: What does it mean for a Jewish person to follow God? This half term, pupils will build on their previous learning about Jewish festivals by exploring Jewish beliefs about God, the Torah and commandments, and by making links between these beliefs and how Jewish people live their lives.
Science: Space and Global Warming - Students will continue to explore how the solar system is organised and also investigate the impacts of global warming on living things.
Guided Reading: Cool and Hidden Figures – We will be drawing inferences, learning new vocabulary and exploring key themes in our books.
Computing: Video Production - Children will learn how to create short videos in groups. As they progress through this unit, they will be exposed to topic-based language and develop the skills of capturing, editing, and manipulating video.
Geography: What is life like in the Alps? – We’ll locate the Alps on world maps, explore their human and physical features, and compare the human and physical geography of Innsbruck to where we live.
Music: Three-chord Pop – Children will discover three-chord pop by learning the bass line, chords and melody, before performing a well-known pop song together as a band.
PE: Dance and Football – The class will explore different genres of dance (Bollywood and Line Dancing). They’ll focus on performing with coordination and expressiveness.
French - Practising a variety of French greetings and learning how to introduce ourselves. Choosing the correct greeting based on the time of day and asking someone how they are.
PSHE: Celebrating Difference - Children will learn about accepting differences, including others and how to act if they think somebody is being bullied.
Home school communication, both to celebrate the good things and tackle any problems or concerns, is essential in ensuring the very best education for your child. Parents, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher via admin@htceschools.co.uk
As part of our whole school commitment to wellbeing, there is no expectation on our staff to read or answer emails sent between 6pm and 8am in the week, or any at weekends or holidays. Should your email not receive a reply, this is not a case of being impolite but one of choosing wellbeing ahead of workload.
