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 Darkest Dark by Chris Hadfield.
The aim of our final piece of writing is to write a formal biography about Chris Hadfield.
In Geography, we will be completing our Coasts topic. We will identify types of beaches, use maps and secondary scources to reserch and descibe coastal areas of the UK and finally describe how changes in land use will affect people and the environment in different ways.
In History, we begin our Local Study topic- Industrial Revolution, Silk, Cotton and Canals. We begin by exploring what the Industrial Revolution was, what it was like before, new technologies and scoail and economic change. Later we will look at new sources of energy as well as technoligical inventions. We will also be going on a class trip to The Silk Museum in Macclesfield to futher our understanding.
Please see the Spring Term 2 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.
