Literacy
In Literacy, we will be reading the book Pax. We will research red foxes to help us learn more about the behaviour of the main character. We will write letters in role and we will focus on building up detailed descriptions. Finally, we will write our own final chapter to the story.
Science- Forces
This half term, we are learning about different forces. Contact and non-contact forces and the effects which they have on objects. We will learn about Sir Isaac Newton and use forcemeters. Then will we will learn about the differences between mass and weight. Practical investigations will also focus on levers, gears and pulleys.
DT Project
This half term we will be designing and constructing automata animals . We will learn about different endangered species, focusing on their appearance, movements and habitats. Then will investigate different types of cams and the different movements which they make. This will enable us to select the most suitable shape to replicate the movement of our endangered animal in our automata model.
Topic- North and South America
Our topic this term is the continent of North America. We will be exploring and discovering amongst other things it's 23 countries, famous geographical features, landmarks and it's cultural heritage.

Our temporary home
As you probably know, we are now in our temporary accomodation on Moderna Industrial estate. But class 5 continue to work hard and make excellent progress! Our literacy text, Pax has stimulated a lot of discussion and brought up a number of philosophical and ethical issues.
Our current topic is Rainforests and children have learned about the diffferent layers from the forest floor to the emergent layer.
We have also continued our work on forces in science including gravity and Sir Isaac Newton. This week we have looked at the effect of friction in the world around us and what life would be like without friction.
This PAX inspired artwork was created for homework!
What happened next?
Our rainforest display, featuring lots of facts, diagrams and illustrations.
Class 5's extensive research on red foxes prior to reading Pax.
Don't forget our year 5 website Mr Brown's Class. There are loads of links to useful websites - useful and fun!
