Welcome to Yellow Class!

Yellow Class is a class of ambitious, hardworking year 5 pupils.

Year 5 is jam-packed with lots of learning and exciting lessons. There is so much to learn and we work hard to understand new things, practise our skills and gain a better understanding of the world around us.

We are working on becoming more independent and responsible as well as getting better at working with others and contributing to a team.

Summer Term Learning Journey 2021 

Learning Journey
The Learning Journey approach means that all aspects of the curriculum combine to build a really creative curriculum. This term our Learning Journey is "Around the world in 80 days". We will be visiting different places and learning about them as we go. 

We will be learning about the physical and human geography of a variety of different places, we can learn about the different religions people follow, learning (and possibly making) some of the traditional foods, dances, artwork and music. There are lots of possibilities! 

English 
Our English curriculum is linked with our Learning Journey. We will focus on a variety of text types during the term. This will include narrative writing, balanced arguments and persuasive texts. 

Maths, 
In Maths we will be focusing on all things geometry! This includes: angles, shapes, translation, co-ordinates, reflection. Towards the end of term we will be looking at time and statistics. 

PE and Games
PE is on Monday and Thursday but it is important to ensure kit is in all week in case of timetable changes.

Spellings will be given every week on a Friday for a test on Thursday.
Times tables should now be practised regularly through Times Table Rockstars.
