Year 5

This half term in Year 5 our topic is:

The Tremendous Tudors!

 This half term, pupils in Year 5 will be learning all about life in the Tudor times, key events that happened and how Henry VIII and Tudor explorers influenced our modern lives today. In English we will be reading Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet, writing diary entries, a newspaper article and an alternative ending inspired by this tragic tale. 

Having previously studied forces and magnets in Year 3, we return to the topic of forces in science this half term by now looking at them in more detail. This involves looking at concepts such as friction, air resistance and water resistance.
