Our topic is Space (Spring 1) and The Tudors (Spring 2). Through these topics we will be linking our History, Geography, Art and Design and Design Technology. Our first educational visit will be to the National Space Centre in Leicester. This will give children the unique opportunity to see real Space artefacts and advanced technology as well as inspiring the children to think scientifically and develop their curiosity of the world around them. The life skill that we will be focusing on this term is cooking. There will be an opportunity for children to design and create their own Tudor banquet.

The fractions unit will include, adding, subtracting and multiplying fractions as well as calculating fractions of amounts. This will then lead into looking at the relationship between fractions, decimals and percentages. Children need to continue to learn their times tables up to 12 and we will continue to focus on a mathematical concept each week in arithmetic to consolidate their understanding. French This term the children will begin by learning the names of the planets and writing descriptive sentences about each planet. To deepen their knowledge, they will then discover the meaning of adjectival agreement and understand how an adjective changes depending on whether the noun is masculine, feminine, singular or plural.

Design Technology Year 5 will be designing and making their own Tudor Houses. To begin they will be exploring how Tudor houses are designed and made as well as evaluating existing designs. Before making their final product, children will be experimenting and testing a range of joining techniques safely (using glue guns, staples, glues and tapes) and then designing their own prototype. They are now becoming more independent designers and will be able to select their own appropriate materials and equipment. and the time zones. Children will also look at physical and human features further developing their understanding using aerial photos of landmasses and examining how land has changed, as well as the development of maps. Geography Children will be solidifying their knowledge of locating the continents and countries, using an aƚlaƐ͛ and interactive resources, to find Space centres across the world.
