Our Year 5 Curriculum

Our topic this term is 'Tiptree'.

As part of this unit of work, we will be exploring the geography of Tiptree and completing a walk around the village to see various points of interest. With some help from a local historian, we will also be learning about the history of Tiptree: how it has changed over time and how it may look in the future. 

We will be exploring the history and work of Wilkin & Sons, as well as having a guided tour of the farm and walking the route to school that children would have taken years ago from the factory,.

 

In Science, our topic is 'Properties and Changing Materials'. We will be learning to compare and group together everyday materials on the basis of their properties, discover which materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a substance from a solution.

 

In our Maths lessons, the children will be building on their fractions knowledge and multiplication and division skills. They will be comparing and ordering fractions, multiplying up to 4 digits by 2 digits using the formal written method and working on their mathematical reasoning skills when solving problems in this area.

We will also cover Fractions, Decimals & Percentages, Perimeter & Area and Statistics.

We will cover a range of skills in our English lessons this term. We will be writing a prologue to an adventure story, whilst incorporating our grammar learning from last term on relative clauses, semi colons and fronted adverbials. We will also be writing formal letters, biographies and diary entries this term. We will continue with our half-termly cycle of spellings, which can be found below attached to the weekly homework
