Welcome to Year 5
Teaching assistants: Mrs Morley, Miss Enderwick, Miss Blades
Welcome to Mr Ford’s Year 5 class. Once again it’s the start of a new academic year, with many exciting opportunities ahead of us.
Our first topic is The Victorians, looking at the rich and poor, industry, famous people and artists.
We will follow this with a new topic, Rainforests. We will be looking at life cycles and habitats of various animals.
Our Spring Term will start with looking at the Vikings. We will be making some Viking helmets in DT and a Viking ship in woodwork.
Following on, we will be looking at Earth and Space. We will be finding out all about the space race and the solar system.
Our summer term will start with investigating Captain Cook, who of course came from Middlesbrough.
Finally, we will be finding out about the United States of America, looking at famous people and landmarks. We will be looking at their food and doing some cooking and food tasting.
Our reading ages are already very good but we still want to improve them, learning the art of skimming and scanning in comprehension.
In P.E. will cover gymnastics and net games and we will be using our new Interactive wall for games.
We will continue to use Class Dojo for updates to parents and upload photographs of our work. So a very busy year ahead!
