Term 4

Welcome back to school Otters! Hope you all had a wonderful break and enjoyed some quality family time together. We cannot believe it is half way through Year 5! 

In our Writing lessons this term, we will be focusing around Greek myths. Firstly, we will read Perseus and Medusa before creating a character description of Medusa, using expanded noun phrases and determiners. Then we have Book Week, which is always exciting to come off timetable! We finish the term by reading a plethora of Greek Myths before the children plan and write their own.  

In Maths this term, we start the term by building on last terms learning (fractions) to apply to decimals and percentages. We then move on to perimeter and area and finishing the term with statistics. 

Throughout our learning this term, we will focus our History learning around the topic of The Greeks.

In RE, our focus is Salvation 'What did Jesus do to save Human Beings?' Our theme in and Science will be learning about Forces. Our Computing is learning how to programme.  In Art, we will be designing and creating our own Greek Vases using papier-mache.   Music is learning about how to rap The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air! 

Our PE days are Wednesday (Hockey with Dave) and Thursday (Yoga). Please remember to wear appropriate PE kits. 

Mrs Garcia is with us on a Thursday and Friday now and Mrs Boler is returning to us this term.
