Osprey Class - Year 5 2023 - 2024

Miss Roberts

Welcome to a full, fun-packed, exciting new year of learning in Osprey Class!

To find out more about who will be teaching the class click on our 'Meet The Teaching Team' page.

Just a short overview of some of the topics we will be covering in Osprey Class this term:

In English we use quality texts as vehicle through which we develop our writing. We won't share what these texts are here as certain lessons require children to predict what the text is about or what comes next.  In maths we are excited to continue using Power Maths. This is a mastery approach to the teaching of mathematics designed to strengthen and deepen understanding for their currciulum objectives.  It will help ensure the children are fluent in mathematics, whilst also embedding problem solving and reasoning skills.  This term we will be focusing on place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and fractions.

We have an exciting new spelling scheme that will start in the first full week. The children will learn their spellings in school for a week before they are sent home, they will then be sent home the Friday of that week and will not be tested until the following Friday once they have had those spellings at home for a week.

Music will continue to be every Thursday with Mr Kitcher learning the Blues.

In our wider curriculum:

R.E - 'How do people express their faith through the arts?' and 'How does faith help people when life gets hard?'

Computing - '3D Modelling' and 'Sensing Movement'

Science - 'Danger Low Voltage: Electricity' and 'Marvellous Mixtures'

Art & Design - 'Make my voice heard'
