This half term in Year 5…
This is an overview of this term’s work:
To begin our Autumn 2 term, we will be exploring how to persuade using the written word. Through developing our understanding of persuasive language, sentence types and the differences between facts and opinions, the children will be able to craft texts to persuade other to a certain point of view. The context for our persuasive letter will be trying to persuade our local MP to encourage more recycling in Portsmouith schools to help combat climate change.
Later in the term, we will be studying from the book called Street Child. It is about a little boy called Jim Jarvis who is growing up during the 1860’s (the Victorian era). It ties in amazingly well with our topic at the time – Top Hats and Chimney Sweeps. We will be recapping with the children how a writer uses speech to add action, emotion and personality to their characters. The children will also develop their narrative writing, creating well-structured plots to engage the reader, developing characters and settings in their outcome which will be a new chapter of Street Child. After writing their narrative, the children will then explore how diaries are constructed and will write their own diary entry from a characters point-of-view.
When reading this fantastic and moving story, we will be looking at how to summarise Street Child as well as a variety of other stories. They will also develop their predicition skills by predicting what might happen from details stated and implied, supported with relevant evidence from the text.
We expect all pupils to complete some daily reading at home. You may wish to read your library book, your own book from home or you can use MYON to access Ebooks.
Below are the links to MYON and Accelerated Reader (which pupils can use to complete a quiz once they have finished their library book).
Pupils will learn a variety of spelling rules in class. In addition to these spelling lessons, pupils must learn the national curriculum exception words. Please find the words for Autumn 2 listed below:
Maths- Multiplication and Division
During the children’s time in Year 5, we aim to develop fluency in the fundamentals of mathematics. We will encourage this by providing opportunities for each child to have frequent practice with complex problems. They will also develop their own ability to reason using mathematical language and strategies. We hope that alongside our school vision, this will ensure each child will become a mathematical thinker.
After we have finished our learning on addition and subtraction, we will mainly focus our learning on division and multiplication and teach the children new formal methods. As a result, we will use this knowledge to support us in solving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division calculations through the use of word problems and open-ended investigations. Furthermore, at the end of every lesson, we will practise and develop our arithmetic skills and knowledge to deepen our mathematical fluency skills.
Maths learning at home:
We will be continuing to encourage many of our pupils to continue with their times table practice on Times Table Rockstars, which will help to support their development of these skills. Click here to access TTR!
Children regularly have access to SUMDOG which is a game that they can also access at home. This helps to reinforce the concepts learned in school – the children really love this and we enter competitions throughout the year too! Click here to access SUMDOG!
Science – Materials and their properties
During this half term, we will be learning about properties and changing materials in which the children will learn how to compare and group together everyday materials based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, including their hardness, solubility, transparency and conductivity (electrical and thermal). Next, they will understand that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution and describe how to recover a substance from a solution. Then use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and evaporating whilst giving reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials, including metals, wood and plastic in order to demonstrate that dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes.
Topic – Our Climate, Our Future & Top Hats and Chimney Sweeps
Starting this half term, we will continue to investigate the impact of climate change on the wider world. We will be utilising a manner of geography skills, such as map use and understanding the differences between human and physical geography, to develop our understanding of climate change on the world and how it has impacted people and how we use the land.
Following our climate topic, we will be investigating the life of a Victorian child. We begin with Victorian day, a full immersive experience where the children will discover what school was like for a child in the Victorian era. The children will then complete an investigation of their own design to find out more about one particular aspect of Victorian life.
French – Pets
In this unit, we learn about the pronunciation of pets in French. We will learn how to ensure we use the correct masculine and feminine agreement for each type of animal and how to name pets. Following this, we will look into the negative form with not having a pet which will help us to complete our outcome.
Music- Victorian Hall Music
In music, we will explore Victorian hall music. The children will listen to a variety of era specific songs. They will be re-writing the lyrics to ‘Oh I do like to be beside the seaside’ in groups and recording this.
PSHE this half term we will be looking at relationships. In the first part of this unit, we are going to be exploring different types of friendships and families, what makes them unique and how they value each other. As part of this, we will be reading a range of stories that demonstrate how families can vary. In the second part of the unit, we will examine the differences between a healthy and unhealthy relationship.
RE – Interpretation
This term the focus will be around the concept Interpretation and how this impacts on people’s lives as well as how this concept applies to Christianity in particular. This unit will explore the different interpretations of the Christmas Story (the birth of Jesus). This unit will also allow children to begin to think about their own understanding of the concept as well as what people leading a religious life believe and how they express this through their practice.
Computing- Information Technology: Creative Computing
Once we have completed our ‘Technology all around us’ unit, we will move onto ‘Creative Computing’. In this unit, we will learn how to create short videos in pairs. As we progress through this unit, we will be learn new topic-based language and develop the skills of capturing, editing, and manipulating video. As an outcome, we will reflect on and assess our progress in creating a video.
In PE this half term, we will be focusing on our “physical” cog where we will look to develop our ability to challenge our ability to adapt it to make the moves benefit us and motivate us.
PE is on Wednesday and Thursday. Please arrive at school in your PE kit and remain in this for the day.
Wednesday is Real Gym.
Thursday is Outdoor PE.
Children should wear a white t-shirt and black shorts or black leggings/tracksuit bottoms.
Each class will be taking part in Real Dance and these will take place in their indoor sessions. As always, the safety of our children is paramount and to ensure this remains, the PE uniform policy is listed below:
-Children must wear the correct PE uniform during Real Dance sessions; black shorts, leggings or ‘skins’ and a white tee shirt. Children cannot wear tracksuit bottoms or sweatshirts during Real Dance sessions. As we are asking your children to wear their PE kit into school, they could still wear tracksuit bottoms/sweatshirts to school in the winter months over their shorts and tee shirt. They can still wear tracksuit bottoms or sweatshirts during their outdoor PE session.
-No jewellery can be worn during Real Dance sessions, this includes any earrings, even studs. If your child cannot remove their own stud earrings for these sessions, please do not send them into school wearing them on their Real Dance days.
-Watches cannot must not be worn so we ask you not to send your child in with a watch on their Real Dance days.
-During Real Dance sessions, your child will be asked to remove their shoes and socks as this will increase their grip on the equipment greatly. If there is a medical reason why you would like your child to not go barefoot, please discuss this directly with their class teacher.
Our PE uniform for Real Dance sessions is based on advice by the British Gymnastics governing body and is designed to ensure your child is as safe as possible during their exciting Real Dance sessions.

Katika kipindi hiki cha miezi miwili, tunajifunza jinsi ya kuwasiliana na watu kwa kutumia maneno yaliyoandikwa. Kwa kuendeleza uelewa wetu wa lugha ya kushawishi, aina za sentensi na tofauti kati ya ukweli na maoni, watoto wataweza kutengeneza maandishi ya kuwashawishi wengine kwa mtazamo fulani. "Msemo huu wa ""Msingi wa Uaminifu"" unatufundisha jinsi ya kuimarisha uendeshaji wa shule za Portishead na kusaidia kupambana na mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa." Katika kipindi hiki cha masomo, tutajifunza kutoka kwa kitabu kinachoitwa Street Child. Jim Jarvis ni mvulana mdogo anayezaliwa katika miaka ya 1860 na kukulia katika miaka ya 1800 ya enzi ya Victoria. Ni ties katika ajabu vizuri na mada yetu wakati huo <unk> Top Hats na Chimney Sweeps. Kwa mfano, unaweza kuwa na wazo la jinsi mwandishi anavyotumia maneno na maneno kuongeza tabia, hisia na tabia kwa wahusika. Watoto pia wataendeleza uandishi wao wa hadithi, kuunda njama zilizoundwa vizuri ili kuvutia msomaji, kuendeleza wahusika na mazingira katika matokeo yao ambayo itakuwa sura mpya ya Mtoto wa Barabara. Baada ya kuandika hadithi yao, watoto watachunguza jinsi diaries ni kujengwa na kuandika yao wenyewe diary kuingia kutoka tabia ya mtazamo. Katika makala hii ya kuvutia na ya kuvutia, tutajifunza jinsi ya kuelezea hadithi ya mtoto wa mitaani na hadithi nyingine. Pia wataendeleza ujuzi wao wa utabiri kwa kutabiri kile kinachoweza kutokea kutokana na maelezo yaliyotajwa na kutajwa, yakitegemezwa na ushahidi husika kutoka kwa maandishi. Tunatarajia wanafunzi wote kukamilisha baadhi ya usomaji wa kila siku nyumbani. Unaweza kusoma kitabu chako kutoka kwenye maktaba yako au kutumia MyLogic. Hapa chini ni viungo kwa MYON na Accelerated Reader (ambayo wanafunzi wanaweza kutumia kukamilisha mtihani mara tu wamemaliza kitabu cha maktaba yao). Wanafunzi watajifunza sheria mbalimbali za herufi katika darasa. Mbali na masomo haya ya herufi, wanafunzi lazima wajifunze maneno ya msamaha wa mtaala wa kitaifa. "Kama ilivyoelezwa katika makala ya ""Mathematics: Multiplication and Division"" ya mwaka wa 5 na 6 wa mwaka wa 6 wa mwaka wa 7 wa 8 wa 8 wa 9 wa 9 wa 9 wa 9 wa 9 wa 9 wa 9 wa 9 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 10 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 11 wa 12 wa 11 wa 11 wa 12 wa 12 wa 11 wa 12 wa 12 wa 12 wa 12 wa 12 wa 12""" Tutachochea hili kwa kutoa fursa kwa kila mtoto kuwa na mazoezi ya mara kwa mara na matatizo magumu. Pia watakuza uwezo wao wenyewe wa kufikiri kwa kutumia lugha na mbinu za hisabati. Tunatumaini kwamba pamoja na maono yetu ya shule, hii itahakikisha kila mtoto atakuwa mchambuzi wa hisabati. Baada ya kumaliza masomo yetu ya kuongeza na kuondoa, tutaelekeza masomo yetu kwenye mgawanyiko na kuzidisha na kuwafundisha watoto mbinu mpya za rasmi. Kwa hivyo, tutatumia maarifa haya kutusaidia katika kutatua hesabu za kuongeza, kuondoa, kuzidisha na kugawanya kwa kutumia matatizo ya neno na uchunguzi wa wazi. Kwa kuongezea, mwishoni mwa kila somo, tutafanya mazoezi na kuendeleza ujuzi wetu wa hesabu na maarifa ili kuimarisha ujuzi wetu wa ufasaha wa hisabati. Kujifunza hisabati nyumbani: Tutaendelea kuhamasisha wanafunzi wetu wengi kuendelea na mazoezi yao ya meza ya mara kwenye Meza ya Mara Rockstars, ambayo itasaidia kusaidia maendeleo yao ya ujuzi huu. Bonyeza hapa ili uingie kwenye T-Rex. Watoto wanaweza kucheza mchezo wa SUMDOG nyumbani. Hii husaidia kuimarisha dhana zilizojifunza shuleni <unk> watoto wanapenda sana hii na sisi kushiriki mashindano kwa mwaka mzima pia! Bonyeza hapa ili ufikie SUMDOG! Katika kipindi hiki cha nusu ya muhula, tutajifunza kuhusu mali na kubadilisha vifaa ambapo watoto watajifunza jinsi ya kulinganisha na kuunganisha pamoja vifaa vya kila siku kulingana na ushahidi kutoka kwa vipimo vya kulinganisha na haki, ikiwa ni pamoja na ugumu wao, ufumbuzi, uwazi na conductivity (umeme na joto). Kwa mfano, unaweza kuona kwamba vitu fulani vinaweza kuyeyushwa katika maji na kutokeza mchanganyiko, na unaweza kuona jinsi ya kuondoa mchanganyiko huo. Kisha kutumia maarifa ya vimumunyifu, kioevu na gesi kuamua jinsi mchanganyiko inaweza kutenganishwa, ikiwa ni pamoja na kupitia kuchuja, kuchuja na evaporation, wakati kutoa sababu, kulingana na ushahidi kutoka kwa vipimo vya kulinganisha na haki, kwa matumizi maalum ya vifaa vya kila siku, ikiwa ni pamoja na chuma, mbao na plastiki, ili kuonyesha kwamba kuyeyusha, kuchanganya na mabadiliko ya hali ni mabadiliko ya kubadilika. """Mtazamo wetu wa hali ya hewa, siku zijazo na kofia za juu na chimney sweeps"" - Mtazamo wa hali ya hewa na mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa" "Tutakuwa tukitumia ujuzi wa kijiografia, kama vile kutumia ramani na kuelewa tofauti kati ya kijiografia cha binadamu na kijiografia cha kimwili, ili kuendeleza uelewa wetu wa mabadiliko ya hali ya hewa duniani na jinsi imewathirika watu na jinsi tunavyotumia ardhi.""" Kufuatia mada yetu ya hali ya hewa, tutachungulia maisha ya mtoto wa Victoria. Siku ya Victoria ni siku ya kuvutia na ya kuvutia, ambapo watoto hujifunza jinsi shule ilivyokuwa kwa mtoto katika enzi ya Victoria. Kisha watoto watamaliza uchunguzi wa kubuni yao wenyewe ili kupata zaidi kuhusu kipengele kimoja hususa cha maisha ya Victoria. Kifaransa <unk> Pets Katika kitengo hiki, tunajifunza kuhusu matamshi ya pets katika Kifaransa. Tutajifunza jinsi ya kuhakikisha kwamba tunatumia mkataba sahihi wa kiume na wa kike kwa kila aina ya mnyama na jinsi ya kuwapa majina wanyama wa kufugwa. Baada ya hapo, tutaangalia namna ya hasi ya kutokuwa na mnyama wa kufugwa ambayo itatusaidia kukamilisha matokeo yetu. Muziki- Victoria Hall Muziki Katika muziki, tutaweza kuchunguza Victoria ukumbi wa muziki. Watoto watasikiliza nyimbo mbalimbali za nyakati hususa. Watakuwa wakiandika tena maneno ya 'Oh I do like to be beside the seashore' katika vikundi na kurekodi hii. Katika kipindi hiki cha nusu mwaka, tutakuwa tukijaribu kuunda uhusiano. Katika sehemu hii ya kwanza, tutajifunza kuhusu aina mbalimbali za urafiki na familia, na jinsi wanavyotambulika. Katika kipindi hiki, tutasoma hadithi kadhaa zinazoonyesha jinsi familia zinavyoweza kutofautiana. Katika sehemu ya pili ya makala hii, tutazungumzia tofauti kati ya uhusiano mzuri na usio mzuri. RE <unk> Tafsiri Katika muhula huu lengo litakuwa karibu na dhana ya Tafsiri na jinsi hii inaathiri maisha ya watu na pia jinsi dhana hii inatumika kwa Ukristo hasa. Kitengo hiki kitachunguza tafsiri tofauti za Hadithi ya Krismasi (kuzaliwa kwa Yesu). Kituo hiki pia kitawawezesha watoto kuanza kufikiria juu ya uelewa wao wenyewe wa dhana hiyo na vile vile watu wanaoongoza maisha ya kidini wanaamini na jinsi wanavyoelezea hii kupitia mazoezi yao. Kompyuta-Teknolojia ya Habari: Kompyuta ya Ubunifu Mara tutakapomaliza kitengo chetu cha "Teknolojia karibu nasi", tutaendelea na "Kompyuta ya Ubunifu". Katika kitengo hiki, tutajifunza jinsi ya kuunda video fupi kwa jozi. Kama sisi maendeleo kupitia kitengo hiki, tutakuwa kujifunza lugha mpya mada-msingi na kuendeleza ujuzi wa kukamata, kuhariri, na udhibiti video. Kama matokeo, tutafikiria na kutathmini maendeleo yetu katika kuunda video. Katika kipindi hiki cha nusu ya muhula, tutakuwa tukizingatia cog yetu ya "mwili" ambapo tutaangalia kuendeleza uwezo wetu wa changamoto, uwezo wetu wa kuibadilisha ili kufanya hatua zifaidi na kutuhamasisha. PE ni Jumatano na Alhamisi. Tafadhali njoo shuleni ukiwa na kitako chako cha mazoezi ya mwili na ubaki na kitako hicho siku nzima. Jumatano ni Real Gym. Alhamisi ni mazoezi ya nje. Watoto wanapaswa kuvaa T-shati nyeupe na shorts nyeusi au leggings nyeusi / tracksuit chini. Kila darasa litashiriki katika Real Dance na hizi zitafanyika katika vikao vyao vya ndani. Kama kawaida, usalama wa watoto wetu ni wa kwanza na kuhakikisha hii inabaki, sera ya sare ya PE imeorodheshwa hapa chini: - Watoto lazima wavalie sare sahihi ya PE wakati wa vikao vya Real Dance; shorts nyeusi, leggings au <unk> ngozi <unk> na shati nyeupe. Watoto hawawezi kuvaa viatu vya mazoezi au sweatshirts wakati wa vikao vya Real Dance. Kwa kuwa watoto wako wanawajibika kuvaa kit cha mazoezi ya mwili, wanaweza kuvaa mavazi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi ya mazoezi. Bado wanaweza kuvaa viatu vya mazoezi au sweatshirts wakati wa kikao cha mazoezi ya nje. - Hakuna vito vinavyoweza kuvaliwa wakati wa vikao vya Real Dance, hii inajumuisha pete zozote, hata studs. Ikiwa mtoto wako hawezi kuondoa pete zake mwenyewe kwa vikao hivi, tafadhali usiwapeleke shuleni wakiwa wamevaa kwenye siku zao za Real Dance. -Saa haziwezi lazima zisivaliwa kwa hiyo tunakuomba usimtume mtoto wako ndani na saa katika siku zao za Real Dance. Wakati wa mazoezi ya Real Dance, mtoto wako ataulizwa kuondoa viatu na soksi zake kwani hii itaongeza kukamata kwake kwa vifaa. Ikiwa kuna sababu ya matibabu kwa nini ungependa mtoto wako asitembee miguu mitupu, tafadhali zungumzia hili moja kwa moja na mwalimu wa darasa. Mfano wa mazoezi ya mwili kwa ajili ya Real Dance ni msingi wa ushauri wa British Gymnastics na ni iliyoundwa kuhakikisha mtoto wako ni salama kama iwezekanavyo wakati wa yao ya kusisimua Real Dance vikao.
