Year 5 2025 - 2026
Mrs Thomson
Year 5
Welcome back! We have another busy half term ahead of us.
Our main English text for this helf term is The Paperbag Prince by Colin Thompson .
The aim of our final piece of writing is to write a persuasive leaflet to give information about waste management (selecting an
appropriate audience e.g. for councils to distribute to home and schools).
In History, we are continuing our Local Study topic- Industrial Revolution, Silk, Cotton and Canals. We will develop our understanding of new technologies and learn about Quarry Bank Mill and its significance in the local area. Later, we will descirbe the impact of building canal networks.
Please see the Summer 1 Topic Web for more information on topics this half term.
Our PE lessons are on Tuesday and Friday. Please make sure children come into school dressed in PE kit on those days.
Please also make sure that children have a named waterproof coat in school each day even if the weather looks fine in the morning.
If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch athomson@mottramacademy.org.uk
Thank you for your support
Mrs Thomson
