Year 5 2022 - 2023
Mr Hallard
Welcome to the final term of the year. It doesn't seem too long ago that we walked into the year 5 classroom in September but we have all grown so much since then!
This term welcomes lots of exciting learning opportunities for everyone.
In addition to myself, Mrs Tomlinson will be covering the class on Mondays in which she will be teaching French, R.E, P.E and Music. Mr Richards will also be providing valuable support in our Maths lessons throughout the term.
You can follow our class on Twitter @LittleLeighSch and on our school's Facebook page where I can provide pictures to celebrate the great work we accomplish.
If there is anything you wish to discuss then please don’t hesitate to contact me at JHallard@littleleighprimary.cheshire.sch.uk.
Here’s to a successful learning journey!
Mr Hallard
We will be reading and learning about South America and in particular the Amazon region which links nicely to our Geography topic.
This half-term our writing will focus on the book 'The lost book of Adventure' in which we will write survival narratives.
We will be:
- Measuring and understanding angles.
- Adding and subtracting with decimals.
Multiplication and understanding the timetables are important for all children in education. I strongly recommend the children spend some time at home practising the multiplication tables up to (and including) the 12 times table in preparation for our learning.
Here is a fun game which may help.
This term we will explore animals (including humans). Specifically, we will be looking at the changes in animals from birth to death.
Our exciting topic this term looks at the Amazon region in South America. We will look to answer questions such as where is the amazon, who lives there and what changes are happening to the amazon which are having a greater impact on our planet.
