Welcome to Year 5
at St Anne’s Primary School

Hello and welcome to Year 5.

Teacher - Miss Dobson

Support Assistant - Mrs Gough

In Writing, we will be exploring The Lost Happy Endings.

Children will investigate the mystery of the stolen happy endings, linking clues identified with known fairy tales and characters. Children will look at the author’s use of language to portray the character of the witch. Within their narratives, children will focus on:

Use expanded noun phrases to convey complicated information concisely.
Describe settings, characters and atmosphere
Integrate dialogue to convey character and advance the action
Use of inverted commas and other punctuation to punctuate direct speech.

In maths, Year 5 will begin by focusing on NUMBER (Multiplication and division)

Children will continue their number focus, moving onto looking at multiplication and division. They will learn the difference between multiples and factors, how to locate these and apply them to problems. Children will explore why numbers are square and cube and what they look like.

Towards the end of Autumn 2, children will begin their fractions journey. We will revisit the terms ‘unit’ and ‘non-unit fractions’, simple equivalent fractions before moving onto applying this into complex problems.

In RE, Year 5 will explore God’s Covenant
