What we are learning about in Year 5 term
This is a selection of the fantastic work the children have completed during home learning.
Second Spring Half Term Activities
Our Topic of the Ancient Maya

We will be discovering all about where, when and how this ancient civilisation lived and it’s customs and practices.
Our Science Topic of Friction

We will be learning about balanced and unbalanced forces, gravity, friction and the use of mechanisms such as levers, gears and pulleys. The children will identify forces and complete force diagrams.
Continuing Trout Project

Our Brown Trout continue to thrive in the classroom and we will continue to nurture them until they are big enough for release. Look below for links to Ribble Rivers Trust activities to support our learning and check out Seesaw for our regular Five Fish Live updates.

Last Half Term’s Work
Our Topic of Rivers

Our topic of rivers has been enhanced with visits from the Ribble Rivers Trust who make the lessons available on line for our home-learners. The children have also had access to Walks with Atticus which shows them the local rivers and the features they have learnt about.
Our Topic of Lifecycles

The fish tank arrived just before Christmas and in the second week of term we took delivery of the brown trout eggs which have now hatched. The children in school provide videoed updates on Seesaw for their home-schooling classmates as to their progress. The children has also learnt about the lifecycles of other species.
