Welcome back to Year 5!

The Autumn term is already upon us and we are very excited about the learning opportunities that we have planned for the term ahead. Over the course of the academic year we are going to be exploring the ‘Little People, Big Dreams’ series of books and learning about some of the inspirational people who have shaped the society we live in.

Over the duration of the Autumn Term we are going to be exploring the life and work of Georgia O’Keeffe. During literacy sessions we will be learning about non-chronological reports and researching about Georgia O’Keeffe’s creative impact through our report writing. For our narrative work we will be studying King Kong and looking at the history of the United States linking to O’Keeffee’s American background. We will further explore the Americas during topic sessions using a range of different sources to help with our research.

Our PE day this term is a Monday but please ensure your child has their kit in school all week.

Please take time to look at our topic web and the spelling lists for this half term and keep your eye out for Pings letting you know of further things going on in Willow class.
