Year 5
Weekly Update - Friday 25th April 2025
Summary of this week:
As always, it is lovely to welcome the children back to school after a break. Linked with our history topic on the Greeks we are learning the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur in our English – everyone thoroughly enjoyed re-enacting being lost in the labyrinth (aka Eastwick woodland!) and making their way back following a ball of thread, as in the myth. We are hoping the imagined feeling of being chased and lost will translate well into their writing.
Our learning next week:
Maths: We will continue our topic on geometry and will be looking at the properties of shapes.
English: We will use our model myth text, to inspire our creative writing.
In science we will research life cycles, in computing we will learn about Micro:bit, in history we will begin our topic on the Greeks, in RE we will be discussing the question, should Hindus live a good life?, in PSHE we will learn more about what makes a good, safe and healthy relationship and in DT we will be finding out about where ingredients originate.
Homework:
Spellings: This week we are looking at root words within a word. These spellings from the year 5/6 spelling list have root words:
lightning determined existence immediately criticise
Maths: Worksheet
English: Worksheet
