Year 5
Hello and welcome to Year 5! I’m Mrs Medall and I am so excited to be your teacher this year!
I love creating a fun and engaging classroom where learning comes to life! I am lucky to be working alongside Mrs Bolu this year who is always there to help and support the children.
We have a busy and brilliant Autumn term ahead. In maths, we’ll be working through key topics including number and place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, and perimeter and area – all helping to strengthen your understanding and problem-solving abilities.
Our English lessons will be guided by Literacy Tree, and we’ll be exploring two fantastic texts this term: Robot Girl and Hidden Figures. These books will inspire a variety of writing, including a non-chronological report and an engaging narrative, allowing us to develop both factual and creative writing skills.
Autumn 1
What a busy and exciting start to Year 5 we have had! The children have settled in brilliantly and have been working hard across the curriculum.
In English, we have enjoyed exploring Robot Girl and Hidden Figures, developing our reading, writing and understanding of characters and real-life inspirational figures. In Maths, we have strengthened our place value knowledge and tackled addition and subtraction, building our confidence with larger numbers.
Our science lessons have taken us on a journey into space, learning about the Earth, Sun, Moon and planets. In History, we have travelled back in time to Anglo-Saxon Britain, exploring how people lived and how society was organised. The children have also been developing their artistic skills by creating cityscapes, experimenting with perspective, colour and watercolour techniques.
It has been a fantastic first half-term, and we are looking forward to all the learning and adventures Autumn 2 will bring!
