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.
Our next text for this half-term is Malala's Magic Pencil by Malala Yousafzai.
This half term, we will be exploring Malala's Magic Pencil by Malala Yousafzai as part of our English and wider curriculum learning.
Through this inspiring text, we will learn about courage, equality, education and the importance of children using their voices to make a positive difference in the world.
Building on these themes, pupils will create either a biography of Malala, a detailed descriptive piece or a newspaper report linked to the experiences of refugees, focusing on the key message of seeing the world "through the eyes of a child".
Through reading, discussion and research, children will develop empathy and understanding of the challenges faced by young people around the world.
To complement their writing, pupils will also produce artwork inspired by their learning, and both the written pieces and artwork will be displayed in a local theatre as part of a community exhibition celebrating 'Refugee Week'.
