Mrs Thomson
Year 5
Welcome back! We have a busy first half term ahead of us.
Our main English text for this helf term is Queen of the Falls by Chris Van Allsburg.
The aim of our final piece of writing is to write a dairy entry about a significant event in Annie Edson Taylor's life.
In Geography, we are starting our topic on Rivers. We begin by looking at how rivers are formed and locate many of the rivers in our region. Next, we describe the features of a river system and locate many of the UK's major rivers. We explore erosions and deposition and locate many of the world's major rivers. We focus on the imporatnce of rivers and the causes and effects of river pollution. Finally. we complete a river field study using maps, observations, measure and recording techniques.
Please see the Autumn 1 Topic Web for more information on topics this half term.
Our PE lessons are on Monday 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.
