Welcome back to the Summer Term!
It's hard to believe that we are already in the final term of year 5! With only 6 weeks left, we have a packed curriculum -
PSHE - RSE (Relationship education) - This term we will be looking at puberty and how people develop during this time. If you have any questions about this please contact the school.
English Writing – We will be studying the book ‘The Odyssey’, which was originally a poem spoken by Homer nearly 3000 years ago! It follows the adventures of Odysseus, travelling home after the Trojan war. After he upsets Poseidon, the Greek God of the sea, he finds his journey is full of disaster and danger. Odysseus must use all of his wit and courage to return him and his men home to his homeland, Ithaca, and to his wife and son.
The children will have the opportunity to: write a epic adventure narrative focusing on the trials and adventures of Odysseus. They will also be writing a letter to their beloved Wife/ Husband and child, explaining that they are determined to return home, and talk about the challenges they have faced so far.
English Reading The children will be reading, discussing and answering questions on our class book – Street child by Berlie Doherty. This book tells the story of Jim Jarvis, a poor boy in Victorian England in 1860. After his mother perishes from a debilitating illness, Jim is sent to live in a workhouse. He eventually escapes, only to find himself in a series of difficult and terrifying circumstances. Will he find a safe place he can call home, and will he be reunited with his sisters?
