Year 5 Home Learning

                           Welcome to Year 5

                'Who let the Gods out?'

Autumn Term

Welcome to Year 5. We are so excited to be learning about the Greeks this term. We are reading and studying 'The Adventures of Odysseus' in English as part of our brilliant 'Who let the God's out?' topic. During the term we will explore the Ancient Greeks and the influence they have had on today's society.

In Science we explore through a variety of investigations and practical science lessons the Properties of Materials and Changes of Materials. 

Keep an eye on Dojo and we will share with you many activities the children experience this term.

There is a link to our weekly spellings at the bottom of our class page. 

This document has lots of different fun ways to practise spellings. Lots of these we have already tried in classes, and lots are new! Please try to practise spellings, or the Year 5 'Common Exception Words' daily. 

We have put together a list of 6 super podcasts. You can listen on apple music, spotify or any other podcast service - for free! 

We would like Year 5 to...

• Listen to 'The Week Junior Show' (ages 8 - 14, parents and carers please have a listen too if you want to check content first). Listen to the most recent episode and the debate all about Shakespeare. What do you think? Write your arguments into a persuasive text. Challenge - can you prepare a persuasive text as a counter argument?!
