Welcome to Pandas Class (Year 5)
Year 5 Class Teacher: Miss E Morgan
Our Learning
In Year 5 we study a wide range of exciting topics. This includes looking at Maya and Aztecs, a case study on architecture and the ‘Queen of the Curve’ – an analysis of Surrealist Art (including creating our own versions) as well as how the geography of North and South America has affected population growth and location, and that’s just for starters!
To support our learning throughout the year, we use ‘Spelling Shed’, an online learning platform, to secure children’s spelling and develop vocabulary and ‘Times Tables Rock Stars’, another online learning tool, to help secure the children’s multiplication and division facts.
We also use ‘Accelerated Reader’ (AR), a system which allows children to take comprehension quizzes on their reading books, to monitor and support reading. You can track your child’s AR quiz scores by signing up to ‘Renaissance Home Connect’.
More information about our Year 5 curriculum for individual subjects can be found on our subject curriculum pages and in our termly Learning Letters, links to which are included below.
Timetable
Our general timetable can be downloaded below. Our timetable is subject to change but gives you an overview of coverage each week.
