Year 5 have had a busy year learning about the Ancient Egyptian culture in the Autumn term and Vikings in the Spring term.

This term we have already been to Whitby to find out about the town and it's locality as well as completing some fieldwork in Brockholes. The observations we have made will provide us with information to complete our geography studies this term in our topic Traders and Settlers. We are looking at both the physical and human geography of our locality and Whitby and comparing the two locations. We are learning about global trade links through studies of Fairtrade.

In English, we will be studying the Highway Man by Alfred Noyes to broaden our poetry experiences.

In maths we will focus on decimals, shape and converting units.

Our science studies are focused on living things and habitats.

Homework will be set on Google Classrooms and will include; reading, times tables practise, maths and spellings from the Year 5 Spellings list. There may also be some science homework longer term projects.

Please help your children to learn their times tables. They can use TTRS or other online games.
