Welcome to Year 5!
Please find more information about what the children will be learning this half term by opening the Knowledge Organiser file found at the bottom of the page.
This half term, we will study The Lost Happy Endings.
We will explore the features of traditional tales before planning and writing our own story about a character who mistreats others, leading to their own downfall. Throughout the unit, we will focus on creating detailed descriptions of settings and characters, as well as writing an alternative ending.

In maths this half term, Year 5 will be focusing on our place value topic. Children will develop their understanding of numbers and the value of each digit. They will also learn how to compare, order and round numbers, using their knowledge to solve a range of problems.
Reminder - All children in Year 5 should be fluent in their timestables up to 12 x 12 and be secure with the corresponding division facts. Please support your child as much as possible by practising them regularly and encoraging them to log onto TTrockstars:
