RE: Year 5 Science and PSHE Lessons – Summer term 2
Over Summer term 2 our science lessons are based on the topic ‘Life cycles’. Throughout this topic, children will learn about the life cycle of different animals including amphibians, insects, birds, mammals and plants including stages of fertilisation, reproduction and pollination respectively.

The PSHE curriculum for summer term 2 focuses on the topic ‘Changing Me’. During this topic, children will learn about their own self-image and how their body image fits into that. They will also learn about how a girls / boys body changes during puberty and understand the importance of looking after yourself physically and emotionally.
Below shows the outline of the lessons in the second part of the science unit that involve the lifecycles mammals and the reproduction of mammals and plants that will be covered and the vocabulary used.

As these are part of the National Curriculum all children are expected to take part in these lessons. If you do have any questions or worries, please speak to a member of staff.
 
Kindest regards,

​This Week In School…
Year 3 – have had a fantastic session with Science Oxford. They learnt all about how air, weight and shape contribute to the effectiveness of a rocket. They then proceeded to make their very own rockets, which they launched safely into the sky. In English, they wrote a persuasive letter based on the short video, 'For the Birds'. They tried to persuade the little birds to stop bullying the big bird, using a variety of persuasive devices to accomplish this goal. In maths, they finished up their topic on shapes by exploring 3-D shapes. They examined the number of edges, vertices, and faces in a 3-D shape and grouped them into different categories. In French, they began learning the names of various animals. They learnt the names for lion (un lion), horse (un cheval), bird (un oiseau), pig (un cochon) and rabbit (un lapin).
Year 4 – have finished the shape topic in Maths and moved on to learning about statistics. They applied their knowledge from Science lessons, when drawing bar charts and pictograms to represent data. In English, they have been creative and designed their own dream playground with no limitations. They created some really imaginative ideas and have enjoyed publishing their setting descriptions. The children have learnt about nets for 3D shapes in D.T and practised assembling them, ready to make their own packaging. In Science, Year 4 were really lucky to have a visit from Science Oxford, where they participated in a workshop and made their own creatures out of different materials. They adapted their creatures based on the habitat that they are in. In computing, we recapped our SMART acronym for staying safe online and talked about our health and wellbeing whilst online.
Year 5 – have settled back into their routines quickly and enjoyed a packed week of exciting lessons. In Maths, they explored how to plot and read coordinates, showing great accuracy and enthusiasm. With eagerness, the children researched the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia to help them write their own news broadcast scripts in English. In Science, the children learned about the life cycles of frogs and salamanders and in RE, they explored the Hindu creation story and reflected on how the origin of the Earth is explained through the lens of Hinduism. PE was great fun as the children practised their cricket skills, and in PSHE, discussions centred around how to make online gaming a safer and more inclusive space for everyone. It’s been a busy and brilliant week in Year 5!
Year 6 – have started a maths bakery project which encompasses many skills learnt throughout the year; they have solved problems involving: ratio and proportion, the four operations, measure (unit conversions), percentages and money.  In English, Year 6 are preparing to write a non-chronological report about owls.  The inspiration for this comes from the class book they are reading (Skellig) in which two of the characters have an encounter with some owls.  So far, the children have done some research about owls and have planned their reports, ready to start writing them next week.  In Science, the children have continued to learn about the circulatory system and this week they have researched the impact of a healthy diet on our bodies.  As well as working hard in class, Year 6 have also started rehearsing for the Y6 end of year production, ‘A Hint of Snow White’.  They have already impressed us with their fantastic acting skills.
