Welcome to Year 5! We have loved getting to know all of the children since the beginning of term and they have done a fantastic job of settling in and getting used to being in a new phase. Our topic for the term has been ‘The Tudors’ and in English we focussed on William Shakespeare’s texts: The Tempest, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. The children loved the twists, turns and the gore too! We have also learned all about Henry VIII reign as King of England and the tragedy of his wives, as well as the reign of his siblings Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. In Maths, the children quickly got to grips with numbers up to 1,000,000, adding and subtracting these with ease! We began our multiplication and division unit, where the children have worked exceptionally hard to learn new methods. In Science, life cycles were our focus and we compared those of mammals, amphibians and birds. ICT was a hit with everyone in Year 5. In groups, the children strategically planned and created their own videos on a chosen subject all inspired by famous vlogger 'Dan TDM'. We have looked at Tudor portraits in Art – even drawing ourselves! We loved tasting, planning, creating packaging and baking jam tarts in DT - Henry VIII himself would have enjoyed them too! What a jam packed term we have had!
