Term 1 

This term Year Five have been answering the Geography question, ‘How is Sumidero Canyon National Park different from Exmoor National Park?” In History we looked at the Maya and how they lived, building temples out of clay, making masks, exploring artefacts and looking at Maya stories in literacy.

In Writing lessons, we have written a number of text genres within the broad topic of the Maya including a setting description, a character description using dialogue and a piece of suspense writing, in the style of our key text, ‘The Rain Player’.

We have been working hard in Maths to extend our knowledge of decimals and place value.

In Science we have been looking into living things, such as plants and how they reproduce. We then looked at animals and their life cycles.

We rounded off the term with an exciting trip to Ashton Gate Stadium. We had a tour of the stadium, took part in some sporting activities and sat in the players changing rooms and discussed the importance of inclusion in sport.
