In  Maths, we will be looking at Multiplication and Division. We will exploring: prime numbers, square numbers and cube numbers. Children will be getting to grips with multiples and factors of numbers, as well as finding the common multiple and common factors of numbers.  

In 
English, we will continue learning about our Year 5 author, Michael Foreman. We will looking at Fox Tale and writing an alternative ending. In line with Christmas will be researching the Christmas Truce and reading War Game.


In 
Science, our topic is “Planets.” We will be exploring space and around our solar system. We will be discovering how the moon works and how our planets affect the time and day.


In 
History, we are time travelling back to the time of the Anglo - Saxons.  They comprised people from Germanic tribes who migrated to the island from continental Europe, their descendants, and indigenous British groups who adopted some aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture and language.

In 
Religion, we will be studying how we are all made in a likeness of God. The children will finish this topic with a deeper awareness of who they are and how this is an important part of our Catholic community in Christ the King.
