Year 5
At Woodlands we provide a supportive approach to ensuring all pupils have high expectations of themselves and each other. We would like the wider community of Woodlands to support us in this journey and to enable the best for our pupils.
Here’s what we’ll be learning this Term:
English: We are writing to entertain using setting descriptions
Spelling: The Statutory spellings for KS2 are all being practised each morning through out the term and in addition, we are teaching spelling of more complex words using phonic knowledge as part of out English lessons in 2 sessions per week which we have entitled 'the Complex Code'
Maths: We are reinforcing solving problems with Fractions decimals and percentages
Guided Reading: Studying a range of texts to develop:
Vocabulary
Inference

Computing - We are learning all about coding and creating computer games of our own.
Music - We are learning performance skills through:
Pitch
Where we listen to the sounds of nature in Summer, eg a cuckoo song.
Play a range of singing games based on the cuckoo interval (so-mi, e.g. Little Sally Saucer) matching voices accurately, supported by a leader playing the melody. The melody could be played on a piano, acoustic instrument or backing track.
Respond independently to pitch changes heard in short melodic phrases, indicating with actions (e.g. stand up/sit down, hands high/hands low).
