Our Curriculum

TOPIC - Space Odyssey

READING 

This half term, we will be reading THE JAMIE DRAKE EQUATION by CHRISTOPHER EDGE. 

In reading lessons we will be focusing on our VIPERS skills: vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, retrieval and summary.

We expect children to read at home at least three times per week and reading records to be filled in. 

WRITING

In writing this half term, our writing will be linked to our Space Odyssey topic. We will cover these genres:

Narrative based on the Disney short film, La Luna.

An informal letter inspired by The Jamie Drake Equation.

A biography of an astronaut. 

                                       
In Year 5, we constantly strive to be ambitious and effective writers, creating texts with purpose which entertain and inform our readers and using our best vocabulary, spelling, handwriting, punctuation and grammar.

Below are the year 5/6 statutory spellings:

Maths

Year 5's ambitious mathematicians will be tackling lots of different areas of Maths this half term, including finishing our fractions unit, decimals and shape. 

This year we will be continuing our Power Maths scheme which focuses on reasoning and looking at questions in different ways.  

We expect the children to use Times Table Rockstars at least twice weekly but please see Miss Milovanovic if you would like any further help.
