Class 5

Welcome to Class 5

In Class 5, we endeavour to provide an inclusive learning environment that is stimulating and challenging for all learners. We have high aspirations for every learner and encourage each one to take ownership of their own behaviour and learning.

This half term in English, we will be exploring ‘Macbeth’ by William Shakespeare. We will be analysing and interpreting original scenes from the play, rewriting the opening scene as a spooky narrative, and creating our own poetry based on the ‘Song of the Witches’.

In Maths, we will be focussing on number, using the White Rose Maths scheme of learning. We will continue consolidating and extending our understanding of multiplication, and division before exploring fractions, decimals, and percentages later in the term. We also use Times Table Rockstars to develop our fluency of the multiplication and division facts, with a KS2 battle taking place each week.

In Science, we will be developing our understanding of electricity. We will be exploring recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram, creating own simple series circuits and conducting fair tests to explore changes in circuits.

In Geography, we will be exploring land use in the United Kingdom and in Music, we will be using Charanga to learn and perform ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel Air’.

Homework includes weekly tasks from the homework project, reading, spellings and times tables practise. We strongly recommend that children read at home at least four times per week, ideally for 20 minutes each time.

PE lessons are on a Monday and Wednesday.
