Welcome to Class Rowan

Our teacher is Miss Woods and we get TA support from Mrs Allinson and Mrs Bolland. Mrs Houghton will be teaching us on a Friday morning.  

Being in Y5 means we have certain responsibilities and we are expected to set an amazing example to the younger children. We will always put 100% into every piece of work we do and be excellent role models. We are always very busy in class and are looking forward to a new year at Aughton Town Green. 

Take a look at some of the work we will be completing during the Summer Term: 

English - We read every day. Sometimes we read independently and other times we read as a group in Guided Reading Sessions.  We also work on our spelling and grammar skills. We are starting the term by reading R.J. Palacio's book 'Wonder', focusing on narrative and biography skills. We will then begin reading 'The Lion and the Albert', where there will be lots of opportunities for some brilliant writing. 

Maths - We enjoy applying our mathematical knowledge and skills to challenges and investigations. Throughout the year there will be a big emphasis on reasoning and mental arithmetic. 

Science - Our topic for this half term will be 'Animals including Humans'. After half term we will be looking at 'Light'. 

PE - Our PE days are Mondays and Fridays. We will come into school in our PE kits on those days. 

Music - We will be studying the 'Ten Pieces' of classical music. The children will learn about different composers, musical language and how to reflect on a piece of orchestral music. 

RE - We will be learning about Christianity: God, focusing on our key question which is, "Where can we find guidance about how to live our lives?"

PSHE - We will be thinking about 'Safety and the Changing Body'. 

History - We will be studying the Maya after half term.
