Autumn 1 term- The secret of the Malamander

 

Welcome to Year 5! This term we are reading Malamander by Thomas Taylor, would you like to discover more about the secret of the Malamander? If so, you would love learning in Year 5. (Scroll to the top of the page to find our more about what we're learning this term!)

                                                                                      

 

Geography

 

In geography we are looking at the map of Eerie-on-Sea, spotting physical and human features and thinking about whether these features would bring trade? Would affect the population? Would encourage tourism? Or would suggest a certain weather? Year 5 have been working hard to find out more about each place and ask a geographical question too!

 

  

Writing and History

 

As we celebrate Black History this month, year 5 have been looking at Dr Martin Luther King’s ‘I have a dream’ speech. We were truly inspired by how he was committed to making a stand and provoking change. We used his speech as inspiration and wrote our own poetry to encourage people to question their choices and think about their actions for the future.

 

 

 

Science

 

In science, we have been learning about states of matter. We have held different science experiments to explore different liquids, solids and gases. Our favourite experiment was making Halloween potions, exploring the idea of dissolving!

 

 

Autumn 2 term- Wonders beyond belief!

 

Welcome back! This term we are reading The Nowhere Emporium by Ross Mackenzie. We are going to be exploring our Space topic, looking at all of the wonders in our Solar System. Keep your eyes peeled to find out more about what we get up to!
