Otters Class Y5
Big Question: What secrets do deserts keep?
Term 6
Welcome back Otters! We hope you had a great break over half term and are ready for our last term!
In our Writing lessons this term, we focus most of our pieces around our class text of 'Holes'. We will be writing a persuasive leaflet for Camp Green Lake before studying a story from another culture called 'The Rainbow Crow' which is a Cherokee story. We finish the year by writing poetry inspired by deserts.
In Maths this term, we begin our topic on Decimals, negative numbers, converting units and measuring volume.
Throughout our learning this term, we will focus our Geography learning around the topic of Deserts.
In RE, our learning question is, 'Is it better to express your religion in arts and architecture or in charity and generosity?' Our theme in and Science will be learning about Animals, including Humans. In Art, the children will be learning about a variety of artists who are all inspired in some way by deserts. They will create their own desert-inspired artwork. PSHE will focus on 'Changing Me'.
Our PE days are Monday (Athletics) and Thursday (Personal Challenges). Please remember to wear appropriate PE kits.
