Autumn Term 1 

Hello and welcome to the Class 5 page. Most of the information you require about Class 5 can likely be found here. However, feel free to get in touch with me (Mr Bell) via the office or catch me at the door if you have any other questions.

We’ll be kicking off this half-term with a few days of lessons centred around the school value of respect. Most of our activities will be inspired by the book ‘Do Unto Otters’ by Laurie Keller. After this, our focus in English will shift to story writing, using ‘The Way Home For Wolf’ by Rachel Bright (author of The Koala Who Could, Lion Inside, The Squirrels Who Squabbled) as our text.  

In maths, we will focus on place value, addition and subtraction, length and mass and finally 2-D and 3-D shapes. History will be focused on the development of our locale, in particular, how farming helped to shape Crawshawbooth. In music, we will be looking at composing and improvising pieces inspired by musicals. Science will see us learning all about animals and humans. Rachel Keller will be our focus in art, where children try to replicate pictures of farmyard animals.
