Welcome to Summer 1
How did we get to the summer term? We can't wait to get started again after having a superb Easter break. We will be doing some post teaching in English sessions in order to polish those year 5 skills we have been developing so far this year. Then we will commence our knowledge block about biographies, learning about Anne Frank and Henry VIII along the way- as well as some other famous (and infamous) people in history.
In science lessons the children will be exploring materials and their properties. This is always a favourite with the children. They will be investigating whether materials are magnetic, insulators or conductors as well as whether they will dissolve or separate. The Vikings and Saxons will continue to be our focus in history sessions. We will look more closely at Viking life and how their technical advances meant they became some of the most prolific adventurers, explorers and traders- much more than just raiders!
