WELCOME TO OPAL
Overview
This half term we will be learning all about WW2 and how it affected our local area. We have an exciting trip booked to visit the RAF Burtonwood museum, based at Gulliver’s World. With our writing we will focus on improving the structure of our writing and the use of relative clauses and commas to show extra information. Being able to separate information correctly using punctuation is vital to the cohesion of the children’s writing.
Science – Earth and Space
RE – Islam
CLASP – Group a - Dance/Fitness with Miss Rebecca
Group b - Fitbox (Off site activity at the Hub)
Jigsaw- This area of our curriculum will take part in Summer 2 during Jigsaw week for all children in year 5.
Homework:
Spelling and maths homework will be given out on a Friday and should be returned the following Thursday. If a child’s homework is not handed in during morning registration then they will complete missing homework in the afternoon during their CLASP session.
