Spring 1
English
In English we will be reading Hansel and Gretel by Neil Gaiman and then writing a traditional tale with a sinister twist. We will then move on to write our own explanation texts.
Reading
We love 'Reading for Pleasure'. Here are a few recommended books for you to read while you are in Year 5:
Maths
In maths we will be moving onto fractions. We will multiply a proper fraction by a whole number. We will also multiply an improper fraction by a whole number. Then we will multiply a mixed number by a whole number and use representations to describe and compare two fractions.
P.E.
Indoor PE will be on Monday and Tuesday this half term. Please come to school wearing your school uniform and bring the correct kit with you. Please remember to tie long hair back and wear layers to keep warm for outdoor PE.
IMPORTANT DATES
Our class assembly is on 31st January!
Homework
We will send homework home on a Friday. The children will have a new spelling list and a maths book each week. They will also have a grammar and comprehension homework on alternate weeks. Please ensure their completed homework is returned for marking by the following Thursday.
Our weekly spelling test will be on a Friday.
