Year 5 and 6 Our topic for this term will be ‘Food’. The learners’ voice and ideas are at the heart of the learning. We encourage you to discuss the class activities with your child and to bring in any relevant pictures, books, artefacts and ideas for guest speakers. Here is an outline of what we will study in each subject: Languages, Literacy and Communication: We study Welsh and English in alternating blocks of a fortnight each. Our literacy work will go hand in hand with our topic work as well as our class novel ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ by Roald Dahl. The writing genres for this term are: Recount, letter, invite, poster, speech, instructions and rules. Read Write Inc: The children will have Read Write Inc sessions for twenty minutes daily to learn English spelling skills. I will be listening to the children read, so it is important that they bring their reading bags to school every day. Reading records will be sent home, therefore when you read with your child, could you please note down in the reading record. You are welcome to read other books, magazines, newspaper with them. Mathematics and Numeracy: The main aspects that we will study this term will be: Addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, place value, temperature, data/distribution, money, mass, estimation and checking and arithmetical reasoning. In addition to this we will practice mental maths, complete Mathematic mats and develop our ability to reason. Science and Technology: We will study the importance of food and a balanced diet. Another unit of work we will be looking at the effect of food on the body, the different food groups and how to live healthily. We will also be developing our coding skills using Hwb and Scratch coding programs. Humanities: This term, we will be learning about where our food comes from. We will be learning about food from Wales, and from around the world. We will be looking at food within different religions and about the food we eat at different occasions. Expressive Arts: We will be emulating the work of the artist Paul Cezanne. We will be drawing different foods, whilst concentrating on colours and shadow. We will also be practicing and learning songs towards our thanksgiving service and our Christmas Show. Health and Wellbeing: Every Monday we do physical activity/sports. We will also be looking at our mental health and emotional well-being. We will be learning about the importance of healthy eating and exercise, and how this helps our growth mindset.
